Bakthang Waterfall, Gangtok Overview
Nestled amidst the serene landscapes of Sikkim, Bakthang Waterfall is a picturesque natural wonder located near Gangtok, the capital city of the state. Just a 20-minute drive from Gangtok town to a place called Swastik, adjacent to the army cantonment area, this cascading waterfall offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life.
The waterfall cascades down from a considerable height, forming a serene pool at its base. The name "Bakthang" derives from the local language, with "Bak" meaning forest and "thang" meaning meadow or place. The natural spring water source of the falls originates from the dense vegetation above the site, which is preserved as a Smriti Ban by the Forest Department.
