GANGTOK,: In a spirited celebration of Sikkim’s 50th year of Statehood, three dynamic women from Gangtok — Karma Pinky Bhutia, Aruna Tamang, and Diki Yangzum — have embarked on an inspiring road trip across North India, covering an estimated distance of 7,000 km.
Flagging off their journey on Saturday morning, the trio is set to tour through several northern States including Jammu & Kashmir, Leh-Ladakh, and Himachal Pradesh. The aim of the two-week journey is to promote the beauty, culture, and unique initiatives of Sikkim through a people-to-people campaign, a press release informs.
Carrying pamphlets provided by Sikkim Tourism, they plan to engage with locals along the way, distributing information and creating awareness about Sikkim’s identity as an organic State, its commitment to cleanliness, and its lush green landscapes.
“We have taken this trip to tell people about our beautiful State, Sikkim. We will meet new people and share with them the stories of our organic mission, our clean environment, and the greenery we are so proud of,” said Karma Pinky Bhutia.
