Gangtok, India

Why Walk Gangtok

Gangtok clings to a ridgeline at 1,650 meters in the eastern Himalayas, the capital of Sikkim — India's least-populated state. On clear days, the summit of Kanchenjunga (8,586m) dominates the horizon. The city is a base for trekking and for exploring Sikkim's remarkable Buddhist monasteries, including Rumtek, one of the most important Tibetan Buddhist centers outside Tibet.
