Art and Craft
Timber along dry stone and deodar and Spruce wood makes for all the
architectural designs of Naggar Village. It a materialistic
combination, the bonding makes it realistic and the final glow of the
building makes it perfect for the Naggar enviornment. Wood and Metal
Craft makes for the most of the craft work done in Naggar. It can be
verily seen in the temples here. Most of the dieties are carved out of
Metal whereas the carvings on the temple walls are made of wood. To add
more, the villagers indulge in making shawls, socks and pattu - all hand
made.

Our Suggestions
- It is one of the perfect destinations to see
both - the hill station and the Indian Village.
- The roads to Sikkim usually get closed in the
month of November to the beginning of January - so make a plan to
visit this place in the months before or after these months.
- Gangtok in itself is a beautiful place - Tashi
View Point, Kancgchenzonga Range, Ganesh Tok, Botanical Garden,
Monastries, Hot water Springs, Rope Way are some of the most famous
attractions of the place. Its a beautiful place to be in, especially
in the months of May and June - the Indian Summers.
- If you are looking for the best Chinese Food in
India, then Sikkim is the best. Here they prepare it really fast and
it tastes like anything. The Chinese Food variety is the largest
here.
- Though all the things are easily available in
the markets of the Sikkim, keep the daily use stuff with you for the
roads. It takes time to reach Sikkim and Gangtok and the roads can
be jammed for hours, so if you have kids with you, keep one bag full
with foodies and mineral water.
