A Much-Awaited Refreshing Escape to Gangtok!

It was recently that I travelled to Gangtok by road with my family. We went by our own vehicle to maintain all necessary precautions. Before leaving, we got ourselves tested for COVID-19 just to be sure that we were all safe to travel.

Upon reaching Gangtok, we stayed at Mayfair resort and spa, an exotic property ideal for unwinding ourselves. It was a beautiful stay with soothing and serene surrounding and environment.

We visited the famous Changu lake and Baba Harbhajan temple, strolled around the mall road and explored vibrant cafés. We relished some refreshing coffee and hot Momos and enjoyed shopping unique mementos. We also went to visit the beautiful Ban Jhakri waterfall park.

Throughout the trip, we constantly took all necessary precautions like wearing masks, maintaining social distance, carrying sanitizers and washing hands whenever required. Every time we went out of the property, we made it sure to return and take a bath. The resort was also well sanitized every day, and the staffs were following all the precautionary steps of sanitation as laid down by the government and WHO.

This 3-nights-2-days’ stay was a much-needed vacation after such a long duration of quarantine and lockdown. It was a perfect escape into the fresh and clean environment of the mountains of Sikkim to rejuvenate our minds.

As a family, we love to travel and explore new places, but the whole COVID scenario kept us indoors. However, now that things are opening up slowly and getting back to normal, it is fine to travel albeit with all necessary precautions.

If you are looking for a short and refreshing trip, do visit Gangtok. Bon voyage!
