Gangtok Tourism The capital of Sikkim
lies on a ridge with fine views of the Kangchenjunga range. Daytime March and
October temperatures are 18-22C and 12C at night.
Places of interest in Gangtok: Inst. of Cottage Industries: production and sales centre for a number of local handicrafts, most with a strong Tibetan look to them. Woollen carpets, shawls and traditionally painted tables are good buys, all at Government regulated prices. Enchey Monastery- On the ridge top above the town, the monastery provides good views. The present building dates from 1909 though the monastery itself is over 200 years old. Institute of Tibetology- established in 1958, the institute is a major research centre on Tibet and Tibetan Lamaistic Buddhism. It houses many rare books, thangkas, statues and manuscripts smuggled out of Tibet after the Chinese occupation. Orchid Sanctuary - just south of the Institute, the sanctuary contains over 500 local orchid species. Rumtek Monastery - located 24 kms before Gangtok, Rumtek is the base for the Kagyupa sect of Red Hat lamas. The older monastery after being destroyed in an earthquake was rebuilt during the early 60's as a faithful copy of the Kagyu headquarters at Chhofuk in Tibet.
