Tashi View Point

Nestled in Gangtok’s Tashi district, the Tashi Viewpoint is a favourite tourist haunt. Offering a vantage point to the sweeping views of the magnificent Kanchenjunga range, the place is best known for the predawn views of the snow-capped peaks. If you reach here before 5am, you can see the magical, although momentary, phenomenon that occurs when the first rays of sunlight break on the massive peaks, shrouding them in a surreal golden hue. Not only that, these peaks keep changing colours throughout the day, turning into a blissful orange-pink at dusk. Cameras won't do justice, trust us!
