Saramsa Garden : Picnic Destinations in Sikkim

By himalayanreview

Saramsa Garden in Ranipool, Sikkim, is a beautiful botanical garden perfect for nature lovers. Spread over acres of land, it has diverse plants from Sikkim and beyond. You'll find various plants here, from colorful orchids to medicinal ones, and plenty of flowers.

The Garden is more popular nowadays as the best picnic destination to enjoy weekend holidays with family and friends. I have personally enjoyed this trip with my son, and the newly installed playground item makes it more enjoyable for kids. Pay Rs. 100 and enjoy a fun time at the Garden. Marriage parties and social functions are other things that attract people to this place. 



Saramsa's peaceful atmosphere and lovely pathways that wind through the greenery make it special. It's a great place for a relaxing stroll or to just sit and enjoy nature's beauty. The garden also has a greenhouse where they care for delicate plants, making exploring it even more interesting.

Besides being a lovely spot for visitors, Saramsa Garden is also an educational place. They organize workshops and programs to teach people about plants and how to care for them. It's a fantastic opportunity to learn surrounded by the stunning natural setting.

For anyone visiting Sikkim, especially those who adore nature or want to learn more about plants, Saramsa Garden is a must-visit. It's a peaceful escape filled with colorful plants and a chance to discover the fascinating world of botany.

Rongli my birthplace

By himalayanreview
BY SHITAL PRADHAN A small hamlet in an eastern side Silent raush on its way, The old silk route, More older it look Upon which I stay, Hey that’s Rongli, Rongli my birthplace Years went by, years dried up, Yet the small village is as it was, Silent, peaceful and introvert Today’s picture of Rongli, Houses as station bogie, Looks a cradle, from Chujachen, Upon which the blue sky, As if I can touch thee, Roaring River, As the legend we hear, Still watch with glee, The terror of 1890 somewhat forgotten, Yet another terrorizing moment, 68 was the year… 1968, When sky too wasn’t pleased. That was Rongli, Rongli of the past. Playing along the Baar-Pepal tree, Hiding in the Shivalaya, Watching videos and aloft Is a decent memory, now? Sweet time in treasure, Yet when I am in Rongli, I am happy, in whither sweet. Rongli my birthplace !

The coinage system of Sikkim

By himalayanreview
It is more or less a forgotten part of the development process of the then-small Himalayan kingdom, Sikkim . The introduction of the coinage system in Sikkim ceased the way it started. A study of the coinage system of Sikkim sheds light on the socio-economic and political history of the then-small state. The coins of Sikkim ended the way they appeared; they came from nowhere, and finally, they got lost out in the darkness. A handful of people around Sikkim and in the districts of Darjeeling now have these rare items in their collections. The coin of Sikkim is much sought after by numismatists interested in countries that no longer exist today. Before the British invasion of the land of Sikkim, the capital revenue system was never heard. Sikkim, being an agricultural foreground, had some parts of food grains given to the king as tax. Trade was carried out where things were exchanged between individuals. This system was prevalent even in the mid-19th century; oranges were exchan...
