Short on time? Three days is enough to enjoy the best of Gangtok, the lively capital of Sikkim. Here is a simple, first-timer-friendly plan.
Day 1: Arrive and MG Marg
Settle in and spend the evening on the pedestrian MG Marg promenade, lined with cafes and shops.
Day 2: Tsomgo Lake and Baba Mandir
A day trip to the glacial Tsomgo Lake and Baba Mandir, with optional Nathula Pass (permit required).
Day 3: City sightseeing
Visit Rumtek or Enchey Monastery, the ropeway, and viewpoints like Tashi View Point before departure.
Tips
- Tsomgo and Nathula need permits – we arrange them.
- Carry warm clothes; the lake is at high altitude.
