Overview

MG Marg is the vibrant, vehicle-free heart of Gangtok, often referred to as the "London Street" of India due to its Victorian-style lamps and paved paths. Spanning roughly 1 kilometre, this boulevard is the first place in India to be declared a Spit, Litter, and Smoking Free Zone. It serves as a bustling hub for both locals and tourists to shop for local handicrafts, enjoy traditional Sikkimese cuisine, or simply relax on the many benches while soaking in the carnival-like atmosphere.
