About the place
Soreng is the headquarters of Sikkim's southwestern district, set among steep cultivated slopes and forested Himalayan ridges. The town connects nearby villages, markets and trekking landscapes with routes toward Rinchenpong, Barsey and the Nepal border region. Its quieter scale, multicultural communities and surrounding viewpoints make Soreng a useful base for exploring this less-travelled part of Sikkim.
