Help Tourism Guide to West Sikkim
Compiling information about history, religion, festivals, sightseeings, treks, flora & fauna, accommodation, food…. the Help Tourism Guide to West-Sikkim covered the area comprising of Pelling, Yuksom, Uttaray, Varshey and Dzongri. 3000 copies had been printed and distributed to interested travellers and operators to brief them about this rather new destination on the tourism map. The brochure did not only address the nice aspects of the area. One article covered the “Jokomania, the psychological phenomenon on Leech bite”, and how to cope with it. Another one provided “Medical Information for the Trekkers in Eastern Himalaya” especially addressing the Altitude Related Sickness (Acute Mountain Sickness). A hand-drawn Regional Tourist Map with emphasis on West Sikkim covered the back of the brochure to provide basic orientation. Highlights and challenges on 16 pages.
