'Sikkim' Tour - Zuluk


Hey folks, I was out on a travel spree and to one of the most beautiful places in India i.e 'Sikkim'! 
We went to Zuluk and Nathang Valley, a terrain of more than 10,000 feet at lower Himalayas in East Sikkim.

"It was once a transit point to the historic Silk Route from Tibet to India." Read more Here and Here.

It was a tour package with GoingWild group which organizes wildlife and birding trips. That means one goes to watch and moreover ‘photograph’ the wildlife/birds species of the place. :-) But besides that you'll be enjoying the beautiful places, people and local culture!

Check my bird pictures here -- > Birds of Sikkim

Going uphill you experience the hot weather getting cold and keeps getting cold till you feel like wrapping yourself in layers. The weather gets pleasant in a way. Our driver was a good guy, his mother; our home-stay aunty was sweet and motherly, our home was simple, warm and welcoming, food was homely and the view was breathtaking, surrounded by mighty mountains which get engulfed in fog anytime.

With an enthusiastic group and experienced group leader Dibyendu Ash, we explored the place, saw lots of beautiful birds, photographed them as well as learned about them. We also had memories of a lifetime. Rain, snow, earthquake ... lots more to share! Let the pictures speak :)

Furry, cuddly dogs :-) I love dogs!

  17. A wonderful post Tanuja. Could you please help me out with how you went about planning your trip to Zuluk? I will be traveling solo to Sikkim this April. Do I need to prebook a 2D/1N trip for Gangtok-Nathula-Baba Mandir-Zuluk-Gangtok or can I do it on sharing basis even after reaching Gangtok? Any chance you might have the contact details of the tour operator/driver you engaged?
    Looking forward to your response.
    Thanks

It's a strategy built on integrity, leveraging genuine marketing efforts and the allure of high-quality content to naturally draw viewers who resonate with the creator's vision. These subscribers not only contribute to the channel's metric growth through consistent views and robust engagement but also amplify reach by sharing videos within their networks. This audience investment bypasses the pitfalls of false subscriber inflation, maintaining compliance with YouTube's policies while bolstering the creator's standing as a reliable and authentic voice in the digital arena.

These legitimate subscribers are key to fostering a vibrant community, as they are far more likely to watch your videos, leave comments, and share your content. Unlike purchasing fake followers, acquiring real subscribers adheres to YouTube's terms of service, protecting your channel's reputation and standing.

Real subscribers contribute not just to your channel's numbers, but also to its authority, longevity, and the potential for monetization over time.

  30. Purchasing positive Google reviews is ostensibly an attempt by businesses to instantly polish their online image and customer appeal. It entails a transaction where ostensibly satisfied customer endorsements are fabricated and bought to mislead prospective clients. This strategy presents a manufactured face of company performance, drastically skewing expected service levels and misguiding consumer trust. It highlights a company's prioritization of appearance over substance, risking penalties from Google and damaging the business's long-term reputation. Moreover, it erodes the foundational trust inherent in the review ecosystem, subtly undermining the authenticity that consumers rely on. Such deceptive practices highlight the dichotomy between short-term gains and sustainable brand integrity, where the pursuit of genuine customer satisfaction should prevail.
