SIKKIM IN
FRAMES
Gangtok is the capital of the mountainous northern Indian
state of Sikkim. Established as a Buddhist pilgrimage site in
the 1840s, the city became capital of an independent
monarchy after British rule ended, but joined India in 1975.
Today, it remains a Tibetan Buddhist center and a base for
hikers organizing permits and transport for treks through
Sikkim’s Himalayan mountain ranges.
