Tashi View Point, Ganesh Tok and Hanuman Tok
Choose these for hillside scenery and temple visits. Clear mountain views depend on the weather.
Monasteries & Heritage
Enchey Monastery, Do Drul Chorten and the Namgyal Institute of Tibetology
Allow time to visit rather than treating every stop as a quick photograph. Check opening hours when planning.
Waterfalls & Leisure

Add the attractions that interest your group. Tickets, activities and operating schedules should be checked separately.
Choose a Short Outing or a Full Sightseeing Day

Tell us the two or three stops you most want to visit. This can suit a relaxed day or a limited window, depending on your pickup point and traffic.
A fuller day around Gangtok

Planning Rumtek Monastery? Ask for it specifically. It needs separate route and time planning and should not be assumed to be included in every local sightseeing cab package.
