The Sikkim pika (Ochotona sikimaria) is a species of mammal in the family Ochotonidae. It is commonly found in the state of Sikkim in India, although the range of their habitat may be greater due to the fact that little is known about them. Initially confused with the Moupin Pika (Ochotona thibetana), the pika can be distinguished from other subgroups based on a different protrusion of the skull and variations in genetic data.
