Zostel Gangtok

Perched on the slopes of Upper Sichey, Zostel Gangtok is not just a hostel. It’s a lively community where travelers from around the world gather to swap stories, share laughter, and soak in the breathtaking charm of Sikkim. With a sweeping view of rolling hills and the mighty Kanchenjunga peaks in the distance, this hostel captures the magic of the mountains while offering the warmth of a second home.

The interiors are a burst of color, with graffiti walls, cozy nooks, and warm wooden touches that instantly put you at ease. Whether you’re unwinding on the terrace with a cup of steaming chai, joining a rooftop jam session, or playing board games in the common room, the vibe here is both relaxed and inspiring.

Zostel Gangtok offers both dormitories and private rooms, each thoughtfully designed for comfort and style. Dorms are clean, airy, and social, while private rooms provide a little sanctuary with stunning window views of misty valleys. Travelers also love the in-house café serving comforting meals, free Wi-Fi, and the staff’s ever-helpful local tips.

What makes it truly special is the social energy—bonfire evenings, travel chats over coffee, or spontaneous treks planned with new friends. Zostel Gangtok is perfect for solo explorers, backpackers, and even small groups looking to experience Sikkim authentically without losing the fun of community living.

From here, you can easily explore Gangtok’s monasteries, MG Marg, local cafés, or plan longer adventures to Tsomgo Lake, Nathula Pass, and North Sikkim. And at the end of the day, the hostel’s rooftop is the perfect place to watch the sky turn shades of pink and orange behind the mountains.
In short, Zostel Gangtok is more than a stay—it’s a memory in the making, where you’ll find both peace and people to call friends.
