I’m often asked what I draw. I choose subjects that I’m attracted to, and I’ve learnt so much about myself.When I was travelling across Central Asia, the cultural exchanges along the Silk route were apparent in the food and the decorative arts.This is a Moghul floral mural in Bukhara.Silent secrets are hidden within the floral walls.

Extremely nitpicky but I hate white wedding gowns in fantasy, especially when they make absolutely no sense in the setting. No, that culture in the far north that prioritizes function over form and mostly wears heavy furs would not have the means, ability, or desire to make a sleeveless ivory silk gown with a semi-sweetheart neckline. Please be sensible about this and use your creativity instead of just slapping a Kleinfeld wedding gown into a medieval fantasy setting.

4 night 5 days silk route tour packages

A trip to the Silk Route in Sikkim, India, offers a unique and breath-taking experience through the pristine landscapes of the Himalayas. The Silk Route, also known as the Old Silk Route or the Silk Road, is an ancient trade route that once connected India with Tibet and other parts of Asia. It's now a popular tourist destination, known for its scenic beauty, high-altitude landscapes, and cultural significance. Here's a guide to planning a Silk Route trip in Sikkim:

Best Time to Visit:

The Silk Route is accessible from April to October. The weather is relatively mild during this period, making it easier to explore the region. Winters are extremely cold and snowy, and many places may be inaccessible.

Permit Requirements:

Foreign tourists require a special permit to visit the restricted areas along the Silk Route. It's advisable to check the current permit regulations as they can change.

Itinerary:

A typical 4 night 5 days silk route tour packages may include the following destinations:

Nathang Valley: Known for its pristine beauty, it offers stunning views of the Himalayas.

Zuluk: A small hamlet with winding roads and stunning landscapes.

Memorial Stone Park: A memorial dedicated to Indian soldiers.

Kupup Lake: A high-altitude lake.

Gnathang Valley: A picturesque valley surrounded by mountains.

Padamchen: A quaint village with lush greenery.

Accommodation:

Accommodation options along the Silk Route are limited, and you'll typically find homestays and guesthouses. It's advisable to book your accommodation in advance, especially during the peak tourist season.

Transportation:

The Silk Route is not easily accessible by public transportation. Hiring a local driver or a tour operator is the most convenient way to explore the region. The roads can be challenging, so make sure you have a reliable vehicle and an experienced driver.

Packing Essentials:

Be prepared for varying weather conditions. Pack warm clothing, comfortable shoes, sunscreen, and basic medical supplies. Oxygen cylinders are advisable, as you'll be traveling to high altitudes.

Local Culture and Cuisine:

While on the Silk Route, you can experience the local culture and try traditional Sikkimese cuisine. Try dishes like momo, thukpa, and other local specialties.

Photography Opportunities:

The Silk Route is a photographer's paradise, offering stunning vistas, pristine landscapes, and unique cultural experiences. Don't forget your camera or smartphone to capture the beauty of the region.

Respect Local Customs:

Sikkim is a culturally sensitive area, so be respectful of local customs and traditions. Seek permission before taking photographs of local people and their homes.

Safety and Health:

The high altitudes can pose health risks, so acclimatize properly and be aware of altitude sickness symptoms. Travel insurance is advisable, and it's a good idea to carry a first-aid kit. Remember that the Silk Route tour 4 night 5days package offers an off-the-beaten-path experience with rugged terrain and limited infrastructure, but the natural beauty and cultural richness make it a memorable and rewarding journey for adventurous travelers.
