gangtok
himalayan whispers, soulful journeys.

Gangtok, the pristine capital of Sikkim, is a serene yet vibrant city perched high on a mountain ridge, offering the perfect gateway to the Eastern Himalayas and unparalleled views of Mount Kanchenjunga. Unlike the bustle of mainland India, this city welcomes travelers with a palpable sense of peace, exemplified by its immaculate, vehicle-free M. G. Marg and the spiritual solace found at the iconic Rumtek Monastery and the gold-topped Do-Drul Chorten. Its culture is a unique tapestry of Lepcha, Bhutia, and Nepali traditions, best sampled through warming, high-altitude cuisine like Momos and Thukpa. Gangtok is an invitation to slow down, breathe the clean mountain air, and immerse yourself in a distinctive Buddhist culture that lives in harmonious reverence for nature and its towering peaks.
