Gangtok is the comfortable, cosmopolitan heart of Sikkim — a hill capital of clean streets, café culture and easy access to some of the state's most iconic day trips.
In the city
Stroll the pedestrianised MG Marg, ride the Gangtok ropeway for valley views, and visit the Rumtek and Enchey monasteries. The Namgyal Institute of Tibetology is a window into Sikkim's Buddhist heritage.
Day trips
The sacred, glacial Tsomgo Lake and Baba Mandir sit an hour away (permit required), while the border pass of Nathula can be added on select days.
Where it fits
Two nights in Gangtok is ideal before heading to North Sikkim, or as part of a Darjeeling–Gangtok combo.
