Gangtok Tours

Gangtok is a bustling, cosmopolitan town in the eastern Himalayas, where mist-covered mountains dominate the skyline. The capital of the former independent Kingdom of Sikkim, until its merger with India in 1975, Gangtok retains a distinct cultural identity shaped by its Tibetan Buddhist heritage and position as a melting pot of Nepali, Bhutia and Lepcha communities. Daily life here unfolds along winding roads lined with colorful prayer wheels, which locals spin as they pass. Shopkeepers arrange fresh momos and thukpa in steaming displays, and the scent of cardamom tea drifts from roadside stalls. Visit the serene Rumtek Monastery, one of Tibetan Buddhism’s most important seats outside Tibet. You could also take in sweeping views of the Kanchenjunga range towering in the distance.
