Known for its monasteries and temples, Gangtok is a beautiful city and mountain biking in Gangtok is one of the best ways you can explore all its beauty! Bike rides through the peaks and ranges give tourists an unmatched thrill as you ride through Sikkim's rugged terrain and explore the beauty that lies beyond.
The view of the magnificent Himalayas and Mt. Kanchenjunga can be witnessed from close quarters when you're biking through the small town. If you're an ametuer rider, you may take a short trip from Gangtok to Hanuman Tok or Martam, which are a short distance away from the capital city.
For a more satisfying experience, you can explore destinations within 100 Kms like Tashiding or Yuksom, where you can spend the night before riding back to Gangtok. If you're an adventure enthusiast and short trips simply aren't enough for you, you can choose a 9-day or 15-day tour all the way from Gangtok to Darjeeling or other destinations around.
This will give you an opportunity to visit the Nathula Pass, ride through bends and steep slopes and marvel at the sight of the Yumthang Valley. All this and more, while being mesmerised by the Himalayas in the backdrop.
Mountain biking through Gangtok is challenging as much as it is exciting, and is quickly gaining popularity. Make sure you head there while it's still a unique activity!
