Gangtok district, Administrative district in Sikkim, India
The district encompasses mountainous terrain at 5,410 feet elevation, containing numerous valleys, forests, and rivers within its 560 square kilometer territory.
Following the reorganization of East Sikkim in 2021, Gangtok district emerged as a separate administrative entity, incorporating three subdivisions of the former territory.
The district population represents multiple ethnic communities, including Nepali, Bhutia, and Lepcha groups, each maintaining their traditional practices and festivals.
Access to the district requires permits for certain areas near international borders, with National Highway 10 serving as the primary transportation route.
The district contains two strategic mountain passes, Nathula and Jelepla, which historically connected Sikkim with Tibet through ancient trade routes.
