MG Marg, Gangtok - You will love to visit

A visit to Gangtok is really incomplete without paying visits to M. G. Marg, Gangtok, which is a ‘must visit’ place. Gangtok is the town center of the hill town and just like any other important road in a city of India would be named as Mahatma Gandhi Road or MG Road, Gangtok is no exception and hence this place is named as M. G. Marg, Gangtok. Over the years, the road and the area around it has transformed.

The entire road is lined up with numerous glittering shops, restaurants, cafes and bars on both sides. It looks very similar to a shopping mall but out in the open. Locals and tourists take leisure walks or just sit and relax. Many tourists take a table at a roadside restaurant and watch the activities on the street, or relax on one of the benches laid alongside the road. The atmosphere out there is like a carnival. At MG Marg in December, The annual Gangtok Food and Culture Festival is held.

The whole area is smoke-free, litter-free, and devoid of vehicles. For approximately 1 kilometer stretch of the road, vehicles are not allowed as it’s a pedestrian-only zone. There are Victorian lamps along this road. The entire place looks magical, when lit up after dark.
