About Gangtok

About

Gangtok rose to prominence after Buddhist monasteries found refuge in its mountain land. Since then, it has been the ultimate gateway to one of the most hidden and adventurous states in our country, Sikkim. With a jazzy nightlife, eateries that serve three distinctive cuisines, and treks hidden in the mountains, Gangtok breaks norms of a typical hill station. The city brews its own beer, pretty much like it houses its own talent. Why we love Gangtok

It’s possible to spot the mighty Kanchenjunga peak of the Himalayas from Gangtok! Head to one of the city’s many popular viewpoints for a good view of the mountains, the city, and the jungles that enclose it.

Culturally, three tribes reside in Gangtok- the Lepchas from Nepal, the Bhutias from Tibet, and the Sikkimese. This gives the city three mind-stirring cuisines, which all make use of an entirely exotic array of vegetables! When here, do explore the local food scene.

Taking the form of an ice sheet in winters and surrounded by lush greenery during the summers, the glacial Tsongmo Lake is one of the most extraordinary tourist places in Gangtok. It’s also known locally as Changu Lake.
