A short escape to Gangtok

by on in ,

 Gangtok Panoramic capital of Sikkim

The little Sikkim’s modern capital, Gangtok, is layered along a precipitous mountain ridge, descending the hillside in steep tiers. Other than a few minor sights, there are countless viewpoints with panoramas that encompass plunging green valleys and, if weather favours, glimpses of Kangchenjunga on the distant skyline.
Gangtok is a pleasing destination and makes for a nice vacation to a hill town. A short trip can be planned to explore the place inside out.
The city is connected via road, rail and air route to many major cities. The nearest airport is the newly opened one at Pakyong, 29 kms /1 hour from Gangtok.
The nearest railway station is New Jalpaiguri in Siliguri, 148 kms / 5-6 hrs away.
