Located approximately three hours distance from Gangtok, Tinkitam Rayong is a small village in Sikip Tehsil in South District of Sikkim State. Its natural habitat supports a rare species of orchid, Paphiopedilum Faireanum or ladys slipper. It is a lovely spot to get away from the world and just relax for a few days.
