Situated at an altitude ranging between 1,800 m and 2,200 m, Jawaharlal Nehru Botanical Garden is close to
Rumtek Monastery. Maintained by the parks and gardens unit of the Forest Department of the Government of
Sikkim, the garden offers an enchanting and soothing experience among the lush green vegetation and certain species of Himalayan flowers and Orchids.
This garden has well tended tropical and temperate plants and trees, and a huge greenhouse with many species of orchids. A small playground for children, with a merry-go-round, swings and a see-saw, is also available. The cemented footpath of the garden is good for a relaxed stroll. The sprawling town of Gangtok can be seen on the opposite hill. It is open for the visitors from 10:00 to 16:00 hrs.
