Wiki Explores Sikkim - Phase I
Wiki Explores Sikkim - Phase I is a nineteen day event to document some areas in and adjacent of State of Sikkim, India. This event has been planned to explore the state of Sikkim and its various important places and monuments and heritage structures. For the first time Sikkim will be included in the Wiki exploration project. The monuments are not explored as much as they should be and there are not sufficient related media in Commons too. Hence a detailed exploration is needed to gather more related media in Wikimedia commons. This will help in providing suppoting media while writing related articles in Wikipedia. Since Sikkim is a vast state, we will conduct the exploration in multiple phases , begining with major parts of East and West Sikkim and to some extent parts of South Sikkim
