From Darjeeling we went to Gangtok (100 kms) by a jeep, which took more than 6 hours because of traffic jam near Darjeeling. Gangtok is called the paradise for tourists. This part of the video shows small small points in Gangtok like the Gurudwara on Deorali road, view point on Deorali road, butterfly overbridge on Deorali road, Gangtok ropeway, Guru Kubum Lhakhang on Deorali road, Nam Nang road, Nam Nang view point and Bakthang waterfall.
In this video you can see the long green color footpath along the side of Nam Nang road. The whole footpath is constructed by the support of steel pillars by the side of montain. You can see Nam Nang view point and the beautiful mountain views at the view point. You can see the Buddhist monastery “Guru kubum lhakhang” with three large prayer wheels. You can also see bakthang waterfall which is on the north side of Gangtok towards Tashi view point- about 3 kms from Gangtok. Bakthang waterfall is located just by the side of the main road (highway) and therefore is easily visible while travelling.
The video also shows MG Marg, Ridge park, Flower Exhibition center and Palace Monastery etc. MG marg is one of the most important location of Gangtok, full of shops, malls and restaurants, crowded all the time. There is a statue of Mahatma Gandhi and a small park and fountain in the MG Marg. The MG marg area is extremely clean. Ridge park is about half km climb above MG Marg. The flower exhibition center near ridge park is a permanent exhibition throughout the year. The entry ticket to flower exhibition is 10/- per head. You can see flowers, flower plants and buy them from here. You can also see the Gangtok palace (from outside) and the Chorten near the palace. The chorten is beautiful with golden color prayer wheels on its wall and a huge prayer wheel inside the chorten. Gangtok is a paradise for any tourist. Visiting Gangtok is a memorable event in our life.
You can see my videos on other important tourist points in Gangtok like Do Drul chorten, Tashi view point, Hanuman tok, Ganesh tok, Enchey monastery, Banjhakri fall, Rumtek monastery, Ranka monastery, Nathula and Tsmogo lake etc. in separate individual video clips in youtube.
