Nathang




Nathang is located in East Sikkim District of Sikkim. Also spelled Natang, it is 28 km east of Gangtok.

Perched at an altitude of 12,162 ft, Nathang experiences extreme weather conditions and the temperature even drops to -25 ° C during the winter. The geographical position and the intense climatic conditions make the place very difficult to access. Nathula Pass, one of the main routes through which trade was carried down between India and China for ages, is located nearby.

Civil Enclave Bagdogra and Darjeeling Railway Station are the convenient airport and railway station respectively.
