Dzuluk

Dzuluk or Zuluk or Jhuluk or Jaluk is a small hamlet located at a height of 9,400 feet (2,900 m) on the rugged terrain of the lower Himalayas in Rongli Subdivision of Pakyong District, which lies in the Indian state Sikkim (Pincode 737131).

Today it is a tourist destination for the view of the eastern Himalayan mountain range including the Kanchenjunga.

The route started from Kalimpong and passed through Pedong, Aritar, Dzuluk and Jelepla to Chumbi valley in Tibet.

Dzuluk lies on the Pangolakha Wildlife Sanctuary and is surrounded by wild forest, some of which are completely virgin.

The remaining settlers used to work in BRO (Border Road Organisation), some in agriculture and the Indian army as a porter.

Farming is near-impossible due to soil quality and weather, and most of the land is fenced and military-controlled, making it unfit for grazing.

BRO (Border Road Organisation), Tourism and porter in the Indian army are the only livelihoods of zuluk.
