There is little lowland, and the variation in relief is extreme. Within a stretch of roughly 50 miles (80 km), the land rises from an elevation of about 750 feet (225 metres) in the\u00a0Tista River\u00a0valley to nearly 28,200 feet (8,600 metres) at\u00a0Kanchenjunga, India\u2019s highest peak and the world\u2019s third highest mountain. The Singalila Range separates Sikkim from\u00a0Nepal\u00a0in the west, while the Dongkya Range forms the border with the\u00a0Tibet\u00a0Autonomous Region of\u00a0China\u00a0to the east. Several passes across this range afford easy access to the Chumbi valley in Tibet and, beyond the valley, to the Tibetan capital of\u00a0Lhasa.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/blog-banner1-1-2-2.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25512850 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/blog-banner1-1-2-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"345\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/blog-banner1-1-2-2.png 345w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/blog-banner1-1-2-2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/blog-banner1-1-2-2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/blog-banner1-1-2-2-24x24.png 24w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/blog-banner1-1-2-2-48x48.png 48w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/blog-banner1-1-2-2-96x96.png 96w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/blog-banner1-1-2-2-75x75.png 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Some two-thirds of Sikkim consists of perpetually snow-covered mountains, dominated by the Kanchenjunga massif. The residents of Sikkim have traditionally viewed the mountain as both a god and the\u00a0abode\u00a0of gods. The legendary\u00a0Abominable Snowman, or yeti, called Nee-gued in Sikkim, is believed to roam its slopes. Other major peaks\u2014all above 23,000 feet (7,000 metres)\u2014include Tent, Kabru, and Pauhunri.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Climate<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Sikkim exhibits a variety of climatic types, from almost tropical conditions in the south to severe mountain climates in the north. In\u00a0Gangtok, temperatures in January (the coldest month) drop into the low 30s F (about 0 \u00b0C); in August (the warmest month), temperatures may reach the low 80s F (about 28 \u00b0C). Depending on elevation and exposure, annual precipitation varies from 50 to 200 inches (1,270 to 5,080 mm), most occurring during the months of the southwest\u00a0monsoon\u00a0(May through October). The heavy rains and snows often trigger destructive landslides and\u00a0avalanches.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Economy<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><strong>Agriculture<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Sikkim\u2019s economy is based predominantly on agriculture, with the sector engaging more than half of the working population. Corn (maize),\u00a0rice, buckwheat,\u00a0wheat, and\u00a0barley\u00a0are produced in terraced fields along the valley flanks. Beans, ginger, potatoes, vegetables, fruits, and\u00a0tea\u00a0also are grown. Sikkim is one of the world\u2019s principal producers of\u00a0cardamom. Many of Sikkim\u2019s farmers also raise livestock, including cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, and poultry. Cattle and buffalo are limited mainly to the subtropical humid belt, while yaks and sheep are herded in the higher elevations in the north<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>The hydroelectric potential of Sikkim\u2019s Tista River system is considerable. There are a few large hydroelectric stations and many smaller plants that provide energy to\u00a0Gangtok, Rangpo, Singtam, and\u00a0Mangan. Rural electrification has remained a government priority.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Transportation<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Roads, though not extensive, are the primary mode of travel. Ropeways, which are similar to ski lifts, also have been provided at many points. The capital of\u00a0Gangtok\u00a0is nearly 75 miles (120 km) from the nearest\u00a0airport, at Baghdogra, and 70 miles (110 km) from the railhead at\u00a0Shiliguri, both in\u00a0West Bengal.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Health<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Sikkim has several hospitals and, in each district, at least one community health centre. Rural regions are served by primary health centres and subcentres. The state participates in national programs to control tuberculosis, blindness, and other diseases. Diarrheal diseases (including cholera), respiratory infections of various sorts, hepatitis, and family-planning issues remain among Sikkim\u2019s principal health concerns.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Education<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Primary and\u00a0secondary education\u00a0in Sikkim is offered free of charge through hundreds of government schools. However, there also are many private schools operating within the state. Higher education is available at a number of institutions, including the Sikkim Manipal University of Health, Medical and Technological Sciences (1995) in Gangtok, as well as smaller colleges offering degrees in law, engineering, teaching, religious studies, and other fields.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/sikkim-gk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">For more facts and GK on Sikkim State, Click here!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"History_of_Sikkim\"><\/span><strong>History of Sikkim<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Little is known of Sikkim\u2019s history prior to the 17th century. The state\u2019s name is derived from the\u00a0Limbu\u00a0words\u00a0<em>su him<\/em>, meaning \u201cnew house.\u201d The\u00a0Lepcha\u00a0were early inhabitants of the region, apparently\u00a0assimilating\u00a0the Naong, Chang,\u00a0Mon, and other tribes. The\u00a0Bhutia\u00a0began entering the area from\u00a0Tibet\u00a0in the 14th century. When the kingdom of Sikkim was established in 1642,\u00a0Phuntsog Namgyal, the first\u00a0<em>chogyal<\/em>\u00a0(temporal and spiritual king), came from the Bhutia community. The Namgyal\u00a0dynasty\u00a0ruled Sikkim until 1975.<\/p>\n<p>Sikkim fought a series of territorial wars with both Bhutan\u00a0and\u00a0Nepal\u00a0beginning in the mid-18th century, and Nepal subsequently came to occupy parts of western Sikkim and the submontane\u00a0Tarai\u00a0region to the south. It was during this period that the largest migration of Nepalese to Sikkim began. In 1816 these territories were restored to Sikkim by the British in return for its support during the Anglo-Nepalese War (1814\u201316), but by 1817 Sikkim had become a de facto protectorate of Britain.<\/p>\n<p>In 1950 the Indo-Sikkimese Treaty made Sikkim an Indian protectorate, with India assuming responsibility for the external relations, defense, and strategic communications of Sikkim. The terms of the treaty also included increased popular participation in government, and five general elections based on adult suffrage were held between 1952 and 1974. In the last of these elections, two rival parties merged to form the Sikkim Congress, which swept the polls. The party subsequently launched a campaign to obtain greater political liberties and rights, and the\u00a0<em>chogyal<\/em>\u00a0attempted to\u00a0suppress\u00a0the movement. When the situation got out of control, the\u00a0<em>chogyal<\/em>\u00a0asked the government of India to take over the administration. India prepared a constitution for Sikkim that was approved by its national assembly in 1974. In a special referendum held in 1975, more than 97 percent of the electorate voted for the merger of Sikkim with India. Sikkim became the 22nd state of India on May 16, 1975.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sikkim_GK_Quiz\"><\/span><strong>Sikkim GK Quiz<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Q: Sikkim is the large exporter of<br \/>\n(a) bamboo<br \/>\n(b) chilly<br \/>\n(c) cardamom<br \/>\n(d) None of these<br \/>\n<strong>Ans: cardamom<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Q: Which is the only Indian State which borders Sikkim?<br \/>\n(a) Assam<br \/>\n(b) Arunachal Pradesh<br \/>\n(c) West Bengal<br \/>\n(d) Bihar<br \/>\n<strong>Ans: West Bengal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Q1: Which is the capital of Sikkim?<br \/>\n(a) Singtam<br \/>\n(b) Gangtok<br \/>\n(c) Mangan<br \/>\n(d) Rongphu<br \/>\n<strong>Ans: Gangtok<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Q2: In which year, the indo-sikkimese Treaty was signed?<br \/>\n(a) 1975<br \/>\n(b) 1950<br \/>\n(c) 1980<br \/>\n(d) 1970<br \/>\n<strong>Ans: 1950.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Q2: When was Sikkim established?<br \/>\n(a) 16 May 1975<br \/>\n(b) 16 Feb 1975<br \/>\n(c) 16 June 1975<br \/>\n(d) None of These<br \/>\n<strong>Ans: 16 May 1975.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Q3: Sikkim became the 22nd state of the Indian Union in the year?<br \/>\n(a) 1985<br \/>\n(b) 1965<br \/>\n(c) 1975<br \/>\n(d) None of These<br \/>\n<strong>Ans: 1975<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Q4: Which is the largest district of Sikkim by area wise?<br \/>\n(a) West Sikkim<br \/>\n(b) South Sikkim<br \/>\n(c) North Sikkim<br \/>\n(d) EastSikkim<br \/>\n<strong>Ans: North Sikkim.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Q5: The Nathu La pass connects India with<br \/>\n(a) Bhutan<br \/>\n(b) China<br \/>\n(c) Bangala desh<br \/>\n(d) None of these<br \/>\n<strong>Ans: China<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Q6: Which dynasty ruled Sikkim in 1642-1975?<br \/>\n(a) Dogra<br \/>\n(b) Gaekwad<br \/>\n(c) Namgyal<br \/>\n(d) None of these<br \/>\n<strong>Ans: Namgyal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Q7: Which is the Sikkim state Animal ?<br \/>\n(a) Red panda<br \/>\n(b) Camel<br \/>\n(c) Nilgiri tahr<br \/>\n(d) Spotted deer<br \/>\n<strong>Ans: Red panda<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Q8: Which is the Sikkim state Tree?<br \/>\n(a) Deodar<br \/>\n(b) Sandalwood<br \/>\n(c) Rhododendron<br \/>\n(d) Palmyra palm<br \/>\n<strong>Ans: Rhododendron<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Q9: Which is the Sikkim state Flower?<br \/>\n(a) Brahma Kamal<br \/>\n(b) Noble orchid<br \/>\n(c) Ranawara<br \/>\n(d) Palash, Butea<br \/>\n<strong>Ans: Noble orchid<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Q10: Which is the Sikkim state Bird?<br \/>\n(a) Blood pheasant<br \/>\n(b) Great Indian bustard<br \/>\n(c) Paala pitta<br \/>\n(d) Northern goshawk<br \/>\n<strong>Ans: Blood pheasant.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/blog-banner-1-1-2-2.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25512852 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/blog-banner-1-1-2-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"970\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/blog-banner-1-1-2-2.png 970w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/blog-banner-1-1-2-2-300x77.png 300w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/blog-banner-1-1-2-2-768x198.png 768w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/blog-banner-1-1-2-2-750x193.png 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sikkim, state of\u00a0India, located in the northeastern part of the country, in the eastern\u00a0Himalayas.
