Spring in Sikkim

Sikkim is a paradise for the naturalist. The steep variations in elevation and rainfall help create a multitude of species within a limited area. The original inhabitants of Sikkim belonged to the Lepcha tribe, then came the members of the Bhutia tribe from Tibet, and even later the Nepalese. The Sikkimese love to decorate not only their homes but anything that can be decorated -with flowers. This film introduces to the viewer some floral - species of Sikkim.
