City of Sikkim - Gangtok The small yet beautiful Cities of Sikkim lies in the lap of the eastern Himalayas. Herein lies Mount Khanchendzonga (8534 mts), the third highest mountain in the world. The cities are placed in a network of mountain peaks, lush valleys, fast flowing rivers and hills. The Cities of Sikkim with all their grandeur, provide a perfect place for tourists to experience a warm ambience.

The cities offer such contrast that within a few hours one can shift from the sub tropical heat of the lower valleys to the cold of the rugged mountain slopes that reach up to the region of everlasting snow. Different festivals celebrated in the cities are the Hindu festivals of Diwali and Dussera and the common Buddhist festivals of Losar, Loosong, Saga Dawa, Lhabab Duechen, Drupka Teshi and Bhumchu. The major Cities of Sikkim are Gangtok (the capital city), Pelling, Gezing, Mangan, Namchi and Yuksan.
