Khangchendzonga Tourist Villa - Villa in Gangtok - East District, India

Had a lovely stay at KTC Ranka! The service is limited but that's okay, as the resort is quite big and the food tends to get cold. I'd advise folks to take the cottages as they have the best view along with the space to enjoy their holiday. Thanks! P

I visited Khangchendzonga Tourist Villa on November, last year. The place is HUGE and it directly faces the entire Gangtok city. Just walking around the resort took me 4 hours and a hell lot of energy. Would definitely recommend the cottages as they are quite spacious and have great facilities.

Very nice area. Sikkim is wonderful place in india. See the clean of Himalaya to sikkim. Here nature & climate is amazing. Best place for tour. Very peace place. Many touriest are coming here. Sikkim is totally different place of Himalaya. Here Kanchanjangha is most famous place to the visitors. Sikkim is very cold place. Here road is very danger & steep. Very slowly Come And Go in car. China is near to here.

order to promote Tourism, the Govt. of Sikkim has decided to setup a, Tourist cum Socio-Cultural Amusement Park at Ranka. It islocated 15 kms. from Gangtok coming up over sprawling 16 acres of land. The project comprises of 24 tourist accommodations of traditional Sikkimese architecture, Villa Club with bars, restaurant, indoor swimming pool, multi- gym, open-air theatre, children's park, Food Court, Exhibition Halls showing arts, handicraft, ornament, musical instruments etc. It will have Centralized A.C in the Reception cum Information Center, Multipurpose hall, Amusement Park with Rides, Simulators, Musical Fountain, Water Chute, Closed Circuit TVs, laser-cum-video show on water screens, Rain Forest Cafe, etc, along with all infrastructure developments works and tourism facilities. The small state of Sikkim is East India, nestled among the Eastern Himalayan mountains has an ace up its sleeve for tourist attraction. The state has presented a mega tourism project which is a combination of provision of modern facilities combined with the cultural heritage of Sikkim. The project was open to tourist after President of India, Shrimati Pratibha Patil inaugrates Khangchendzonga Tourist Complex cum socio-cultural amusement park at Ranka, East Sikkim on 15th April. The project is the first of its kind in the state of Sikkim. It was conceived in 2005 by the Chief Minister of Sikkim and work started on the same in June 2006. The park spread over 16 acres of land has many cultural attractions like the dome shaped Sikkim Panaroma, swimming pools, bowling alleys, colourful and musical fountains and laser shows. The Sikkim Panaroma houses relief features of important places of Sikkim including the state's low lying areas and going higher up to Mt Khangchendzonga. These relief features are made from fiber glass. There are also murals of the ethnic communities of Sikkim in the Sikkim Panorama along with traditional huts. Also in keeping with the serenity and surroundings of the region, the park has a rain forest cafe, a unique food joint with glass floors over a natural stream with lots of greenery. For the locals of Ranka and tour operators in Sikkim where the tourist villa cum park has been built, such a mega project will vastly benefit their economy as tourist flow will increase. Since the project is a new feature in the region of in and around Gangtok, the capital city of Sikkim, tourist may extend their visit by a day or few in order to visit this place. The government is spending another Rs. 30 crore for reviving local economy so that the place can be given good marketing publicity in addition to the project and the tourist can be persuaded to extend their stay in Gangtok and visit Ranka. Ranka also has other tourist attractions such as Lingdum Monastery and Banjakhri Falls. Also with limited recreational and entertainment facilities in Gangtok, the locals can visit Khangchendzonga Tourist Villa cum park for their own entertainment benefit as well.Khangchendzonga Tourist Villa cum Socio-Cultural Amusement Park is a pioneering standalone project of its kind, celebrating the many gifts Sikkim is endowed with. Itis a landmark not only in the state but in all of Northeastern India. It is the pride of the people of Sikkim and brings joy to visitors to this enchanting land.

Not worth the visit. I can say the worst park I've ever visited. The rides doesn't work. Staffs are not trained properly. Food is awful. Not going again.

Tourist Friendly, it is near to Bhanjakri falls, so you can easily visit that place also

Best property in gangtok. Excellent amusement park. Nice views.

This is the first amusement park in Gangtok, Sikkim, I was one of the member of the landscaping and designing group.
