Naksha Dhura is a tiny village located in the border area of Sikkim. The village lies in the lap of a valley covered by mountains. It is about 8 kilometres above the Rangpo Sikkim border.
The beauty of the cinchona plantation, a medicinal plant, can be felt in the cold air of summer and the warmth of winter.
This village is a tiny piece of Kalimpong, also known as the fallen part of heaven. This village is still hidden in the eyes of the world. I have decided to show this village to the whole globe.
