In the Laps of Beautiful Gangtok
Well,there is no doubt in the fact that India is a country with beautiful places i still remember my visit to Gangtok a beautiful place in the laps of Northern India I started my journey from Bagdogra Airport and after that I hired a cab and started my journey towards the beautiful city the mini Switzerland in my opinion ,it is a very beautiful small city with lush of greenery around.The best thing about this place is the weather,also there are many places to see which are very simple but not less then a heaven like the MG road,Monasteries ,Waterfalls and also there are many small shops and very nice eating places for the foodies mainly who love to eat "MOMOS","Rolls" and other Chinese food this is the best place to try all these mouth watering cuisines.
The famous MG road is decorated with the beautiful natural flowers there are many Hanging pots with beautiful colorful flowers in them also there are many lanterns on the street also few shops are well decorated with dragon themes, this street is really very beautiful and best place for the people who want to experience the natural beauty ,there are many small benches on the street where any tourist can sit and enjoy the hustle and bustle of the town ,there are many souvenir shops on this street and one should must buy the beautiful key chains of Chinese dolls and also old traditional Pottery kettles which are beautifully painted and these are available on very low prices.There is also a Chinese market where one can buy normal things at a very cheap rate and for the people who are fond of clicking pictures this street is the best place to capture some of the memories in your camera.
Moreover, many cheap and budgeted hotels are situated near the Mg road and I prefer that whom so ever is going there must take a hotel near by so that whenever they feel like to go and hangout on the Mg road they can go also taxi is very affordable there ,I stayed there for 3 days and my experience was mesmerizing ,I also visited near by places like Tosango lake and Baba mandir words are very few to explain the beauty of these places ,Though the roads are not in that good condition but for a nature lover this is a must go place , also beware of changing weather, this place is quite cool so always carry woolen jackets and also you never know when it will start raining so carry an umbrella with you, Baba Mandir is a military temple and it is surrounded by beautiful hills and waterfalls.
After reaching the Baba mandir I noticed a canteen which was full and people were desperately waiting for their Maggie which they ordered after watching the popularity of that place I also ordered a cup of tea and Maggie for my self and that experience was so soothing tasting the Maggie and sipping the tea in the laps of nature was memorable experience.Even i had witnessed many beautiful lakes and scenarios during my journey to Tosango Lake and Baba Mandir , one thing which i want to share with you is that tourist need permission to go to these places because these are situated on the China border so for the security purpose one need to take the permission so you should carry passport size photographs and your ID cards with you and take the help of your hotel manager for organizing the trip , and one should also go to the China border and there you can see the Great wall of China which is also a wonderful experience .
Overall my experience was so amazing and I recommend youngsters that they must go to this beautiful place and experience the natural beauty.
