Gangtok, The Capital City of Sikkim

Gangtok, the capital city of Sikkim is located on a ridge at a height of 5500 feet. With a spectacular view of the Khangchendzonga, the town provides the perfect base for travel through the state. Once an important transit point for traders traveling between Tibet and India, it is today a busy administrative and business centre and presents an interesting mix of cultures and communities.

Gangtok is a cosmopolitan town which offers the tourist all possible amenities. Hotels are available in a range of prices along with a variety of eateries serving cuisine from round the globe. Shopping complexes, cyber cafes, night clubs and pool parlours abound for those so inclined.

MG Marg, the main street of Gangtok town is a great place. The countrys first litter and spit free zone, no vehicular traffic is allowed into the marg. You can just loose yourself in the peace and serenity away from a remot control lifestyle. By just sitting at the Titanic Parks tretched across the mall you will feel blissful. It always has  a festive atmosphere, especially during the tourist season. The Mall is lined with shops on both sides of the road so shopping becomes an added pleasure.

MG Marg is also the venue for the annual Gangtok Food and Culture festival held in December each year when Sikkims multi-cultural cuisine, along with music and dance togather is a full entertaining and relaxing package.  This event attracts a large number of locals and tourists each year.
