About Gangtok Tourism

The capital of Sikkim, Gangtok is a popular hill station destination in the East. This small town, lies atop a ridge, at an altitude of 5,800 ft, amidst a Himalayan setting, with the world's third tallest peak Kanchenjunga at its east, and overlooking the river Ranikhola. Gangtok meaning 'lofty hill' was said to have been a small village until it gained the status of an important pilgrimage centre with the building of the Enchey Monastery in 1840. In 1975 with the end of the monarchical rule, Sikkim was made an official state of India with its capital at Gangtok.

Spectacular place and a must visit

Overview of the destination
Gangtok, a cool and a charming place in Sikkim, a must visit for people travelling to this part of the country. So neat and clean,Food, sight-seeing and shopping
Shopping is comparatively expensive here and things are not authentic. Most items are Chinese made with life of 4-6 months. Lots of food options andActivities & things to do
Ropeway, trekking, walking etc... If you are lucky then there is river rafting in Teesta river some 50 odd kms from Gangtok.Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc.
Need at least 3 days in Gangtok if you wish to travel to Nathula as well. Keep warm clothes if you are travelling in winter
