Key Facts

Sikkim is a state in northeastern India, nestled in the eastern Himalayas and bordered by three countries. Located in the northeastern part of India, Sikkim shares international boundaries with China to the north and northeast, Bhutan to the east, and Nepal to the west, while its southern border connects with the Indian state of West Bengal. With an area of approximately 7,096 square kilometers, Sikkim is India's second-smallest state by area and least populous state with around 650,000 residents according to recent estimates. The state is divided into 4 districts - East Sikkim, West Sikkim, North Sikkim, and South Sikkim - each with its own distinct geographical and cultural characteristics. Known for its dramatic mountainous terrain, Sikkim is home to Kanchenjunga, the world's third-highest peak, which dominates the landscape and forms part of the border with Nepal. The state's capital, Gangtok, serves as the administrative and cultural hub, while the economy relies heavily on tourism, agriculture (particularly cardamom production), and hydroelectric power generation. Sikkim has gained international recognition for becoming India's first fully organic state in 2016, banning chemical pesticides and fertilizers entirely. For those seeking to access postal code information for Sikkim's various towns and villages, the state's four districts contain numerous sub-regions with specific postal codes essential for mail delivery and location-based services.
