Hotel Pandim

Top choice in Gangtok


This friendly family guesthouse is Gangtok's best budget option, with jaw-dropping mountain panoramas from its top-floor deluxe rooms (₹2000 to ₹2500), from the four-bed dorm, and especially from the delightful Tibetan-styled top-floor cafe-restaurant (guests only, order ahead) where you check in.

Even the cheaper basement rooms are quite liveable, though a couple of roadside options can feel a little cold and damp.
