About this locality

Gangtok is the capital of Sikkim, a spectacular hill city set on a ridge at 1,650 metres in the eastern Himalayas, surrounded by forests of rhododendron, orchid and cardamom with dramatic views of the Kangchenjunga massif, the world third highest mountain. The city is the cultural and administrative heart of a state that blends Nepali, Bhutia and Lepcha communities in a unique Himalayan synthesis celebrated for its communal harmony and extraordinary natural beauty. The Rumtek Monastery, the Enchey Monastery, the Namgyal Institute of Tibetology and the Flower Show are among Gangtok most celebrated cultural attractions. Sikkim holds the distinction of being Bharat first fully organic state.

Historical roots

Gangtok became the capital of the Chogyal (divine ruler) kingdom of Sikkim, which maintained its independence through the pre-independence period before becoming a protectorate and finally India 22nd state in 1975. The city heritage reflects the Buddhist Bhutia ruling culture that governed Sikkim for centuries, the Nepali community that formed the majority population and the indigenous Lepcha people whose relationship with the Himalayan forests is one of the most ancient in the region.

Connectivity

Gangtok has no railway station. Bagdogra Airport (West Bengal, 124 km) is the nearest air access. NH-10 road connectivity from Siliguri (114 km). Helicopter services from Bagdogra operate on certain days.
