Yangang Shines at Northeast India Tourism Awards 2025 with Double Honour

Yangang, South Sikkim | October 11, 2025

In a moment of immense pride for the State of Sikkim, the picturesque town of Yangang, located in South Sikkim, has been bestowed with a prestigious title at the Northeast India Tourism Awards (NEITA) 2025, earning recognition as the “Best Emerging Destination.”

The honour was presented during the inaugural edition of the Northeast India Tourism Awards, held on October 11, 2025, at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Guwahati.

Instituted as the “Oscars of Northeast Tourism,” the NEITA aims to celebrate and acknowledge the outstanding efforts of destinations, individuals, and initiatives contributing to the growth and innovation of tourism across the eight Northeastern states of India.

Yangang was recognised for its remarkable growth trajectory, adventure tourism offerings, and sustainable, community-driven development that beautifully weaves together environmental stewardship and cultural preservation.

Accepting the award on behalf of Yangang were two eminent figures who have played a pivotal role in the town’s tourism transformation:

• Mr. Robin Basnet, a distinguished name in sustainable tourism and rural development in Sikkim, who envisioned Yangang as a leading tourism destination more than a decade ago.
• Mr. Bijay Limboo, a passionate birdwatching expert and founder of the “Visit Yangang” initiative, who has worked tirelessly to promote eco-tourism and experiential travel in the region.

Their visionary efforts and commitment to responsible tourism have turned Yangang into a vibrant destination for adventure enthusiasts, birdwatchers, and cultural travellers seeking authentic Himalayan experiences.

Yangang’s recognition at NEITA 2025 comes at a time when the destination is garnering nationwide attention for its unspoiled natural beauty, rich biodiversity, and immersive rural experiences. From trekking and paragliding to indigenous homestays and birding trails, Yangang offers travellers a truly authentic glimpse of the Eastern Himalayas.

With this latest accolade adding to its growing list of national recognitions, Yangang continues to cement its position as one of India’s most promising travel destinations.

As the region advances towards sustainable growth, Yangang stands as a shining example of how community-driven tourism and visionary leadership can redefine the tourism landscape — not only in the Northeast but across the country.

Arun Limboo Arrest and Bail (September 2025)

SDF youth leader and spokesperson Arun Limboo was arrested on September 15, 2025, following an FIR filed by the Chief Minister’s legal aide. He was accused of sharing social-media content defaming the Hon’ble Chief Minister and his spouse, using provocative language, and allegedly inciting unrest.

.सामाजिक अभियन्ता सोनम वाङ्छुकलाई लेह हिंसापछि विदेशी चन्दा सम्बन्धी अनियमितताको कारण अनुसन्धानमा परेका छन्। उनका संस्थामध्ये एकको विदेशी अनुदान अनुमतिपत्र रद्द गरिएको छ र अर्कोमाथि केन्द्रीय अनुसन्धान ब्युरो (CBI) को अनुसन्धान भइरहेको छ। गृहमन्त्रालयले उनको संस्थाको विदेशी कारोबारलाई राष्ट्रिय हितविरुद्ध भएको पाएको छ।

रिसाएका वाङ्छुकले केन्द्र सरकारलाई चेतावनी

वाङ्छुकले भने, "केन्द्र सरकारले मलाई PSA लगाएर जेल हाल्न खोजिरहेको छ।"
सोनम वाङ्छुकले भने कि केन्द्रीय गृहमन्त्रालयको दाबी निराधार छ। "मैले लेहमामा कसैलाई भडकाएको छैन। कहिले मलाई विदेशबाट चन्दा लिएको आरोप लगाइन्छ, कहिले ममाथि CBI अनुसन्धान हुन्छ—यी सबै आन्दोलन दबाउनका लागि गरिएका कदम हुन्।"

उनले थपे, "सरकारले पहिले लेह हिंसाको दोष काङ्ग्रेसमाथि लगाएको थियो, अहिले मलाई जिम्मेवार ठहर्याइरहेको छ, तर वास्तविक कारण समाधान गर्न चाहिँ टारिरहेको छ।"

वाङ्छुकले भने, "केन्द्र सरकारले मलाई सार्वजनिक सुरक्षा ऐन (PSA) अन्तर्गत दुई वर्ष जेल हाल्न चाहन्छ भने म तयार छु। तर वाङ्छुक स्वतन्त्र भए पनि वा जेलमा भए पनि सरकारले अझ ठूलो समस्याको सामना गर्नुपर्नेछ।"

उनले भने, "म यसमा अचम्म मान्दिनँ। केही समयअघि CBI को टोली आएर केही कागजात माग्यो, हामीले सबै उपलब्ध गराएका थियौँ।"
