Gangtok

in life •  7 years ago 

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.received_1964047803845808.jpegreceived_1964047797179142.jpegreceived_1964047887179133.jpegreceived_1964047863845802.jpegreceived_1964047823845806.jpegreceived_1964047877179134.jpegreceived_1964047880512467.jpegreceived_1964047690512486.jpegreceived_1964047837179138.jpegreceived_1964047883845800.jpegreceived_1964045957179326.jpeg
