Where did you visit in Sikkim?  Do you think Sikkim is way better than Nepal? Proabably you visited Gangtok which is a small but beautiful hill station. What about BUSTI ? Have you lately visited Ilam? Life is not bad in Ilam either.  Cash crops like aduwa, alaichi, kucho, milk etc have revolutionized and metamorphosized people's life in Ilam. IMO, rural Ilam or jhapa is better than rural Sikkim. And cities in sikkim like Gangtok, Singtam, Geyzing, Namchi, etc are not different than mid sized nepalese eastern nepalse towns like Dhulabari, Birtamode, Ilam or dharan. 

Please do not try to show sikkim as way better than Nepal. I know many Sikkimese migrating to eastern Nepal being from that place, FYI: My mawal is in Sikkim so visited and stayed there so many times for months and visited many remote places too in northern sikkim which is no different than Manag or mustang. Do you think Sikkimese are better than manage, mustange or Solulhumbe etc? Yeah, they are definitely better than people in western Nepal. BTW where did you go in Sikkim??
