Sikkim

Sikkim is a large state which borders Tibet. A permit is necessary to visit this area. There are four famous caves, these are:

• Laringvigphu (Old Cave of God's Hill) in the north, is considered as the most holy and can be reached in three days from Tashiding.
• Kadosangphu (Cave of the Fairies) in the south, is at the Reshi hot springs on the Jorethang - Gyalsing highway. It is about ten minutes from the highway across the river Rangit by a pedestrian suspension bridge.
• Pephu (Secret Cave) in the east, this is near Sangmoo, which is situated 5 km from Rabongla on the highway between Singtam and Rabongla. One has to walk for half an hour downhill from Sangmoo to reach the cave, which varies in height from 2 to 30 meters. The cave is said to extend beneath both, the Tendong and Maenam hilltops.
• Dechhenphu (The Cave of Happiness) in the west, is equally inaccessible and lies near Zongri
