Zuluk is part of the ancient and historic Old Silk Route that once connected Tibet and India for trade and cultural exchange. For centuries, traders, monks, and caravans passed through this region carrying wool, silk, spices, and various goods.
The village was once a major transit camp for porters and traders, but after trade routes shifted and borders changed, the region became quiet and isolated. In recent years, Zuluk gained popularity among travelers for its twisty roads, panoramic viewpoints, and untouched beauty.
Today, Zuluk stands as a living reminder of the Indo-Tibetan trade era and offers visitors a chance to explore a culturally rich, historically significant, and naturally stunning part of Sikkim.
