Sikkim and Darjeeling represent the unique cultural and geographical diversity of India's northeastern region. Darjeeling, developed by the British in the 19th century, became famous for its tea plantations and the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Sikkim, formerly a kingdom, merged with India in 1975 and is known for its biodiversity, including Kanchenjunga, the world's third-highest peak. The region is home to diverse ethnic communities including Lepchas, Bhutias, and Nepalis, each with distinct traditions.
