Sikkim is a district of the Indian state of Sikkim.
Its capital is Namchi. South Sikkim lies at an altitude
of 400 m to 2000 metres and hence enjoys a temperate climate
for most of the year.
The people are mainly of Nepali descent. Other ethnic
groups include the Lepcha and Bhutia communities. Nepali
is the most widely spoken |
 |
|
language in the district. It also has
one of the lowest populated regions of the state.
It is also the most industrialised district in the state, owing
to the availability of flattened land. The geology being stable
means that the roads are in a good condition as compared to
other parts of the state which suffer from landslides. Major
urban centres include Teesta Bazaar and Melli. The district
is also famous for its Sikkim Tea, which is grown near Namchi. |
