Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim at 1,650 m, is just 114 km from Siliguri — a 3.5-hour drive through the Teesta Valley. It serves as the gateway to North Sikkim (Lachung, Yumthang, Gurudongmar Lake) and is packed with Buddhist monasteries, viewpoints, and the famous MG Marg pedestrian street. Siliguri acts as the transit hub for all Darjeeling-Sikkim-Bhutan tours, making it easy to add Gangtok to a larger Northeast circuit.
