M.G.Road - Gangtok, Sikkim


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.

  18. 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.

  24. @kavita, I've listen to indian music and watched several bollywood movies when I was a kid. I actually know few people who speak your language :)
    is the actor Aminta Bashan (is that the right spelling) still making movies?
