"Located at the heart of the Himalayan range in northern India (State of
Sikkim), the Khangchendzonga National Park includes a unique diversity
of plains, valleys, lakes, glaciers and spectacular, snow-capped
mountains covered with ancient forests, including the world’s third
highest peak, Mount Khangchendzonga. Mythological stories are associated
with this mountain and with a great number of natural elements (caves,
rivers, lakes, etc.) that are the object of worship by the indigenous
people of Sikkim. The sacred meanings of these stories and practices
have been integrated with Buddhist beliefs and constitute the basis for
Sikkimese identity." -http://whc.unesco.org
