Under Geography subheading Flora and Fauna, pls change the image of Cymbidium goeringii to an image of Dendrobium nobile. Both flowers are known as noble orchids, but only Dendrobium nobile is the state flower of Sikkim. Scorchids (talk) 04:40, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why is there no mention of Nathu La and Cho La clashes?

There is a Wikipedia page for Nathu La and Cho La clashes but it is not linked to this page which I find odd. It would fit under the "protectorate" paragraph that covers the 1950s to 1970s, which currently skips over the "war" in 1967. Raven Monty (talk) 05:48, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
