Overview
MG Marg, short for Mahatma Gandhi Marg, is the main promenade in the centre of Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim. It is a pedestrian-only street lined with cafes, restaurants, shops and benches, and it is known for being clean and traffic-free.
In the evening it fills with families, students and visitors strolling, eating momos and browsing for Sikkimese and Tibetan crafts. It is a relaxed place to end a day in the hills.
