“Gangtok, a collection of wooden stalls, Marwari shops and a few stone-built houses, numbers some two thousand in habitants. Its only sights are the Royal Palace, rebuilt a few decades ago; the villa-like Residency of the political officer; and the lama temple, situated in the immediate vicinity of the royal dwelling.”
