About this day
See some of Gangtok's best-known city sights in one outing, moving between the pedestrian heart of town, mountain viewpoints and a forested waterfall setting. The proposed route brings together MG Marg, Gangtok Ropeway, Ganesh Tok, Hanuman Tok and Banjhakri Falls. It gives first-time visitors a broad introduction to Gangtok without adding the monastery-focused stops covered in the separate Buddhist Heritage outing. The day moves from the city centre to views over Gangtok and the surrounding mountains, before finishing among the greenery and waterfall at Banjhakri Falls. This suits travellers visiting Gangtok for the first time who want to cover the city's main sightseeing areas in one outing.
