population: 100,285. Altitude: 1,570 m. Gangtok, literally "the high hill", offers magnificent views of the Ranipul River, Kangchenjunga (or Kanchendzonga) and the surrounding terraced farmlands. The capital of Sikkim is a long city on a mountainside. A lot of traffic and many buildings make it unattractive. Nevertheless, it's a good starting point for trekking, and the heart of the town, which revolves around a central pedestrian street (M.G. Marg), is extremely pleasant and commercial. Here you'll find everything you need to explore the mountains: footwear, warm clothing, accessories, permits and Sikkimese souvenirs of all kinds.
