About this

Gangtok sits at roughly 1,650 m on a ridge above the Ranikhola valley, with narrow streets that climb past markets selling local produce and Sikkimese handicrafts. From the city, a winding road reaches Tsomgo Lake at 3,800 m, where the water surface often reflects surrounding peaks and prayer flags mark small shrines on the shore. Winter snowfall can close the pass, so timing matters for road access.
