Aritar holds cultural and historical significance as part of the old trade routes that connected Sikkim with Tibet and Eastern Himalayan regions. The area developed around its monasteries, traditional villages, and Lampokhari Lake, one of the oldest natural lakes in Sikkim.
Over the years, Aritar became known for its scenic trails, ancient temples, and pleasant climate. Today, it stands as a historical, natural, and spiritual retreat offering travelers a glimpse into traditional Sikkimese culture and untouched nature.
