Kanchenjunga, the third highest mountain in the world, rises majestically in the sky. Darjeeling and Sikkim complement each other with traditional tourist attractions of the British Raj's residual charms, world famous Darjeeling tea on one side and with less commercialized Sikkim hills, renowned for its over 500 species of orchids and 30 species of rhododendron -ranging from the gigantic Rhododendron Grande (10m tall) to the tiny Rhododendron Nivale (½m tall).
