Shingba Rhododendron Sanctuary - North Sikkim

Your North Sikkim tour will remain incomplete if you go by the tour operator's advise and keep on counting " 5 Point - 7 Point " . Get down at Shingba Rhododendron Sanctuary and admire the subtle color of Rhododendron vernicosum . This is basically a native of China with glossy leaves and Wide mouth bell shaped flower which comes in a compact inflorescence containing six to twelve individual flowers.

 

In this trip I wanted to see & photograph Rhododendron only ; somehow I have got attracted to that part of art which is known as Botanical Illustration , sadly I cannot draw , can only enjoy other people's work.
