Must-see attractions
Flower Exhibition Centre
Gangtok
　　Flower-wise it's less exciting than many a British garden-centre shop, but a visit to this small, covered collection of potted plants is perversely entertaining if only to watch colourfully dressed fellow visitors going selfie mad, sometimes with a soundtrack of Bollywood hits – perhaps orchids thrive on rhythm? ...
TV Tower
Gangtok
　　Useful orientation point. ...
Himalayan Zoological Park
Gangtok
　　Among India's best-maintained zoos, this lushly forested park occupies an entire hillside. The star attractions are Sikkim's animal emblems, the red pandas, looking a little like cuddly toy foxes. There are also Himalayan bears and snow leopards roaming enclosures so large that you'll need patience to see them. With a...
Enchey Gompa
Gangtok
　　On the city's northern outskirts, approached through rustling conifers, Enchey is a small but appealing Nyingma-Buddhist monastery that is, in a sense, Gangtok's raison d'être: it was the site's perceived sanctity that originally attracted people to this once-obscure area.

Ganesh Tok
Gangtok
　　If you're visiting the zoo, whose ticket booth is 50m away, it's well worth stopping at this viewpoint tower to survey a vast sweep of cityscape: notice the Royal Palace visible amid trees way beyond Enchey Gompa. 　　It's named for a tiny associated Hindu temple which is almost lost amid...
Namgyal Institute of Tibetology
Gangtok
　　The NIT's 1958 core building feels like a Tibetan fantasy palace, with corner towers, colourful mural frontage and a forest-glade setting. The main hall houses a priceless and well-explained collection of culturally Tibetan/Buddhist iconography and artefacts, including tantric skullcap bowls and trumpets made from human thigh bones. Beautiful Buddhist statuary...
