Sikkim Report

Sikkim is one of Beautiful states of India. OikoEssence conducted a nature camp during April, 2018. We are glad to share the sightings of the same.

Flora 

Includes lots of Rhodendrone spp. such as Rhododendrone arboreum, Rhododendron capanulatum; crolarias, bamboos etc. April is the time when rhododendrones bloom in plenty and it is an amazing experience to observe gloom in such a large quantity.
