Tashi View Point

Situated 8 km away from central Gangtok, Tashi Viewpoint is a scenic beauty from where travellers can get a view of the magnificent Mount Sinilochu and Mount Kanchenjunga. It was built by Tashi Namgyal who was the king of Sikkim between 1914 and 1963, and that is how the place got its name. Developed by the tourism department of Sikkim and nestled in a perfect location, one can get a beautiful view of the snow-capped mountains from Tashi Viewpoint. This spot also serves as a fabulous picnic place for local, as well as foreign tourists, due to the presence of a cafeteria and sheds bordering the site of the viewpoint.

The splendid Tashi Viewpoint does not have a match due to its unpolluted environment which has been developed in a manner that helps the tourists understand the trance of the Himalayas. The picturesque ambience, in addition to its serenity, plays a major role in helping the travellers enjoy a view of the Phodong Monastery and Labrang Monastery from here. Tashi Viewpoint is no less than a paradise for all the local and the young people who assemble here during the weekends to enjoy and be a part of the incredible sightseeing.

For the overseas travellers, it is advisable to visit the place during the morning time to experience a more explicit and transparent view of the mighty mountains juxtaposed against the golden hues of the rising sun. So, if you ever plan a trip to Gangtok, do not miss out on visiting Tashi Viewpoint to help you break away from your monotonous life in an environment filled with peace and harmony.
