Post Travel guide to Aritar, Sikkim
[ATTACH]5[/ATTACH]
*Lampokhari*

In Sikkim nature has bestowed us with many places that possess such scenic beauty; the very sight of it would fascinate us and one such place is Aritar (Under Rongli Sub-Division), long sequestered from the rest of the state, tucked away in the far eastern boarder of Sikkim, nestled in the lap of Himalayas, bounded by Mt. Kanchendzonga, is opening is doors to welcome the world amongst the ambience of nature?s very own bounties of lush green forest, serene mountains, placid lakes, roaring rivers, gentle steams and spectacular terrain, itself. With the freshness of the morning dew, experience the first ray of sunlight that falls on the sacred Mt. Kanchendzonga from Rachella, Pangolakha or feel the nostalgic sunset from the view point (Mangkhim) from where you can savour a magnificent view of the whole range of Mt. Kanchendzonga. Aritar offers the experience that is wholly Sikkimese amidst the unique blend of ethnic and modern comforts without letting the aura of nature abandon you. You can savour the panoramic and all the inspiring view of the surrounding country side, bi it the breath taking mountains high above the local farmers in their terrace fields far below. For that unique taste of experience, to feel the tickle in your palate as you relish the local Sikkimese cuisine, to feel the placid mountain lakes cradling the majestic pines, to feel the closeness of nature as you stroll in the forest, to feel the brush of cool mountain air as you enjoy trekking, horse riding, boating, to really feel the feeling that is completely out of this world you have got to treat yourself to the ?Aritar Experience??
