<p data-start="2476" data-end="2897">Sikkim is a biodiversity hotspot. Home to the Khangchendzonga National Park and Barsey Rhododendron Sanctuary, the region is ideal for wildlife photography, birdwatching, and eco-tourism. Look out for species like the red panda, Himalayan monal, and even snow leopards in higher altitudes. Nature-based tours can be added to most itineraries, and are especially suited for travelers interested in slow, meaningful travel.</p>
