Dear Silk Route Tourism Team, I am thrilled to extend my heartfelt congratulations on the launch of your new website! This is a remarkable milestone for the United Silk Route Tourism Development Society, which has been a vital force in promoting the rich heritage and natural beauty of the old Silk Route circuit in Sikkim since its formation in 2019.

Your initiative to bring together tourism stakeholders from the stunning areas stretching from Reshi to Nathang, including the charming villages of Aritar, Dalapchand, Phadamchen, Lingtam, and Zuluk, is truly commendable. By focusing on these offbeat destinations, you are not only showcasing the unique culture and scenic landscapes of East Sikkim but also encouraging visitors to explore the hidden gems of our region. Your efforts to enhance the rural economy through tourism initiatives will undoubtedly bring joy and prosperity to many families in the region. It is inspiring to see a collective effort aimed at fostering growth while ensuring the preservation of our cultural and natural heritage.

I wish you all the success as you embark on this exciting journey with your new website. May it serve as a powerful tool for attracting visitors and sharing the beauty of Sikkim with the world!
