Over View: Gangtok: Gangtok is one of the more popular hill destinations in India`s northeast region. Most travelers visit Gangtok with the idea of catching a glimpse of the spectacular Kanchenjunga, the third highest peak in the world. On a bright, sunlit day it is a sight to behold. Part of the lower Shivalik hills of mighty Himalayas, Gangtok stands at an altitude of 5047 feet (null.3 meters). Gangtok roughly means `Majestic or Lofty Hill`. Prayer flags fluttering in gay abandon, lamas busy mumbling holy chants, brightly painted pagoda roofed houses lined with begonias and orchids, are some the signature sights of this hill town. Lepchas, Bhutias and Nepalis comprise the main ethnic groups of the town. In recent years, Gangtok has emerged as a centre of Tibetology. Travelers interested in Tibetan Buddhism and culture make a beeline to the towns many monasteries and institutions of learning..

Tshangu Lake: Tsomgo Lake, also known as Tsongmo Lake or Changu Lake, is a glacial lake in the East Sikkim Distric of the Indian state of Sikkim, some 39 kilometres (24 mi) from the capital Gangtok. Located at an elevation of 3,653 m (12,213 ft), the lake remains frozen during the winter season. The lake surface reflects different colours with change of seasons and is held in great reverence by the local Sikkimese people. Buddhist monks prognosticated after studying the changing colours of the lake.

Baba Mandir: Major "Baba" Harbhajan Singh was an Indian army soldier who died in 1968 near the Nathu La pass in eastern Sikkim. He is revered by soldiers of the Indian army as the Hero of Nathula and the army men have built a shrine in his honour. He has been accorded the status of a saint by believers who refer to him as the Baba which means saintly father in Hindi. Many of the faithful people, chiefly Indian army personnel posted in and around the Nathu La Pass and the Sino-Indian border between the state of Sikkim and Chinese occupied Tibet believe that his spirit protects every soldier in the inhospitable high altitude terrain of the Eastern Himalayas. Lot of people believe that Baba also grants favours to those who revere and worship him. There are 2 Baba temples. One on the way from Nathu La to Gangtok and the other one is at a place between Nathu La and Jelepla pass. The one below is a new shrine. The older one is normally not on the regular tourist itinerary and one has to specifically request the tour operator to take there. But the original one is definately worth visiting because here they have preserved the original bunker used by Baba alongwith the stuff used by him in his routine. Its a good experience..
