Gangtok, the capital city of Sikkim, seems to have come alive from a fantasy fairyland. Built on the flank of the ridge, Gangtok is a perfect symbol of the confluence of past and present, tradition and modernity. Flanking the prominent presence of Stupas and monasteries, Gangtok bustles like any other town. Eyes do not get tired beholding the picturesque sites of flags whipping in breeze; wheels spinning in the hands of Lamas mumbling invocations to God, snowy streets, brightly-painted pagoda-roofed houses. directly facing the city is the hill Lukshyma, the 'Mother of Pearl' citadel of the magic mountain, Khang-Chen-Dzod-Nga, which is worshipped as a local deity. There are many tour sites in Gangtok; like Namgyal Institute of Tibetology, Orchid Sanctuary, Deer Park, Dul-Dul Chorten, Tsomgo Lake, Changu Lake, Labrang Monastery, Pemayangtse Monastery, Rumtek Monastery, Tasuklakhang Royal Chapel and many more.
The hill resort of Gangtok offers several accommodation options to its tourists. Gangtok has star-categorised hotels as well as the cheaper ones. One may get discount on the tariffs during the low season. The Hotels in Gangtok offer a variety of cuisines for tourists to feast on, like Tibetan, Chinese, Indian, Japanese and Continental cuisines. Tomba, a traditional drink served in a bamboo mug, and sipped through a bamboo straw is worth to taste.
