GeographyAltitudinal Range of Sumin Reserve Forest lies between 800 metres to 1900 metres. At the top of Sumin Forest is Gari Fort. Some natural cave formation can be seen at the higher ridges of this reserve forest. HistoryVery little human habitats are there inside this community reserve forest, since histrocal and socio-religious beliefs have conserved and protected this place. For both Hindus and Buddhists this place is considered as a sacred groove. Gadi fort or Budang-Gadi fort is the ruins of the fort built by Chogyal of Sikkim to protect Bhutanese invasion from the east. As per local narrative story - The king of Bhutan attacked kingdom of Sikkim to get back the princess "Pendi" as she flew with the king of Sikkim. The frightened king of Sikkim (or Chogyal) erected a fort to prevent the attack. There is a nearby village, called Pendam; which was named after the princess Pendi.[1][2] Moreover, there is a Hindu Kali Temple as well at the top. During the time of Rama Navami and for other Hindu festive occasions local pilgrims do offerings to the deity Goddess Kali. Management authority is governed by Directorate of Ecotourism, Govt of Sikkim and Joint Forest Management Committee. Natural HistoryBiomes
