Proud to be a Sikkimese: Sikkim Travel, Culture & Local Heritage

I still remember writing an article on early man tools found in Sikkim some time back. I had wrapped in brief three separate excavations completed in different parts of Sikkim. A few years later, I saw a complete package of excavation reports of the last excavation done at Sikkim (2004) in the form of a book, which was enough to excite my tiny heart.  The book Archeological Exploration in Sikkim , written by Dr. PK Mishra , provides a report on the excavations done in 2002 and 2004 at Sikkim by the team led by Dr. Mishra from the Prehistoric Branch of the Archeological Survey of India . The book also illustrates photographs with information on early man artifacts discovered from over two dozen Neolithic sites in  North and East Sikkim.   Dr. Mishra writes that the tools recovered from Sikkim were collected from the fields under step cultivation and even from the local people who thought those were “ Chattang ko Dunga ” or the “ Vajra Dunga ” stone from heaven.
