Saramsa Garden, Botanical garden in Pakyong District, India.

Located between Gangtok and Pakyong on NH-717A, Saramsa Garden covers 6 acres of land with greenhouses, orchids, and fruit trees.

The Sikkim Forest Department established the garden in 1922 to grow fruits such as pineapple, guava, oranges, and lychee for colonial officers.

The garden transformed from a fruit plantation to an orchidarium in 1975, reflecting changes in local horticultural practices and recreational needs.

Visitors can reach the garden by traveling 14 kilometers from Gangtok SNT Bus Station, with facilities including a convention center for 500 people.

The garden earned its alternate name, Ipecac Garden, from its period of cultivating ipecacuanha, a medicinal plant imported from Malaysia between 1940 and 1970.
