Gangtok
Stroll Gangtok's immaculate pedestrianised promenade — MG Marg (Mahatma Gandhi Marg) — a clean, vehicle-free zone lined with cafes, restaurants, artisan shops selling Sikkimese handicrafts (thangka paintings, wooden masks, bamboo crafts), and offering a convivial mountain-town atmosphere unlike any other in Northeast India.
Try Sikkimese momos (steamed or fried) and thukpa (noodle soup) at the small eateries around MG Marg. The Sunday market nearby has the best deals on local produce and handicrafts.
