Gangtok: The Indian Army organised a five-day ‘Bharat Ranabhoomi Darshan Supercar Drive’ in Sikkim to promote responsible tourism and highlight India’s border heritage, a defence statement said on Wednesday.
Held from December 11 to 15, the civil–military initiative was organised in collaboration with Super Car Route, Mumbai, and the Sikkim government. The event aimed to strengthen ties between civilians and the armed forces while showcasing the strategic and cultural significance of India’s border regions.
A convoy of 17 supercars from Mumbai traversed the historic Sikkim Silk Route, covering key locations including Gangtok, Nathu La and Zuluk. The route offered participants a glimpse of the Eastern Himalayas’ natural beauty while underscoring the strategic importance of high-altitude border areas.
