Stress is a disease of modern times. It afflicts people regardless of their station in life. Stress
is present in the lives of the rich and poor, literate and illiterate, men and women. Stress is,

on just an overwhelming opinion of a large majority. For Sikkim is a treasure that few know about.
However, the facts of its remarkable geography bear enough testimony to pitch Sikkim in a slot

peaks, Sikkim is to the mountains. Tragically, a region so wild and exotic and with such geographic
