Walking hand in hand in the valleys of Gangtok, I believe would be one of those moments when it will be just you two, away from the world, in your own magical world. It is a town in which no matter where you go Orchids, Butterflies, and Rhododendrons will follow the lovebirds. Situated at the height of 5480 feet, Gangtok is 4-5 hours drive away from both the railway station and the airport. Check in at your hotel after you arrive in Gangtok.
