GANGTOK TRAVEL CIRCUIT BY SIMANACHACHARIYA TOURS AND TRAVELS
GANGTOK, the land of monasteries, is also the largest town of SIKKIM. Situated in the Shivalik Hills and lying at an altitude of 1437 m, GANGTOK is a bustling, friendly hill station, and the capital of the Himalayan state of SIKKIM. The city resembles the Bhutanese capital. It’s an important Buddhist Pilgrimage Centre. GANGTOK gained religious significance among the Buddhists after the construction of Enchey Monastery in the latter part of the 19th century.It was an important trade centre between the British and Tibet during the 19th century. GANGTOK was made the capital of SIKKIM in 1894 by the Thutob Namgyal, who was a monarch under the British Rule.
When India gained independence in 1947, SIKKIM chose to be an independent monarchy and GANGTOK continued to be its capital.
However, in 1975, after a period of strife and struggle, SIKKIM was finally made an Indian state and GANGTOK was made its official capital. The city suffered a major setback in its trade relations with Tibet after the Nathu La Pass was closed following the Sino-Indian war of 1962. However, the Pass has been opened in 2006, and GANGTOK has again started functioning as a major trade point between India and Tibet.

(i) GANGTOK CITY TRAVEL SECTOR :-
GANGTOK CITY BY SIMANACHATRIYA TOURS AND TRAVELS
GANGTOK CITY is the State Capital of the Indian State SIKKIM and is the most visited tourist destination of SIKKIM. It is also considered as the heart of the SIKKIM specially in terms of Tourism. It is really very unfortunate that like the rest of SIKKIM, not much is known about the early history of GANGTOK. The earliest records date from the construction of the most awesome and hermetic GANGTOK monastery in 1716. GANGTOK remained a small hamlet until the construction of the Enchey Monastery in 1840 made it a pilgrimage centre. It became the capital of what was left of SIKKIM after an English conquest in mid 19th century in response to a hostage crisis.
After the defeat of the Tibetans by the British, GANGTOK became a major stopover in the trade between Tibet and British India at the almost end of the 19th century Following India's independence in 1947, SIKKIM became a nation-state with GANGTOK as its capital. SIKKIM came under the suzerainty of India In 1975, after years of political uncertainty and struggle, including riots, the monarchy was abrogated and SIKKIM became India's twenty-second state, with GANGTOK as its capital after a referendum.
The name GANGTOK is derived from the Tibetan word for ‘hillside,’ GANGTOK is popular place with tourists heading on treks, though the facilities do not reflect the number of international visitors. GANGTOK would be easily one of the most cleanest cities you would ever come across highly organised and beautifully maintained it the Switzerland of the east. Tourists are of paramount of importance; hence rules have been laid in order to prevent tourists from being cheated. It is a really nice place to unwind. Devoid of large stores, book shops this place is a nice break away from typical city lives. Still, the city is a fascinating place to spend a few nights, the winding side alleys hide some unexpected gems, and the main street (MG Marg) is pedestrianized and a pleasant place to take a stroll.
