An evening stroll in the famous M.G. Road is a must those visiting Gangtok.....one can shop, eat or can just simply sit on one of the benches placed all over the market.The mood of this market is very lively and relaxed.....
A sovenier shop......Sikkim is a plastic free zone,so no plastic bags are allowed....chewing paan,paan masala gutka is prohibited here.......and the rules are followed very srictly here.
After a very busy day of sight-seeing and a heavy lunch it was an ideal place to relax....the vehicular traffic is not allowed here in the evening.
you are doing a great job.What sovenier's did you purchase?
ReplyDeleteGood post... I wish to implement the below rule throughout India.

ReplyDeleteबहुत खूब जी।
कभी सोचता हूँ कि दो महीने की छुट्टी कर लूं और आपकी आँखों से देख पाऊं... जैसा आप देखती हैं और कैद कर लेती हैं. सच है कि कुछ आम जगहों को ख़ास बनाने का हुनर होता है, आप में भी है. हर पोस्ट से आपने उत्तर पूर्व की अलौकिक छटा को हम तक पहुँचाया है.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy traveling with you. Your blog adds adventure to the daily hum drum...
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work.
Nice pics. I live in Bangalore. God knows if I ever get a chance to visit this part of India!
