How To Reach Bakthang Waterfall

Gangtok, Sikkim, India
Riverside Origin: Bakthang Waterfall is a beautiful natural stream waterfall formed by the gushing waters of the Ratey Chu stream, which gently cascades down a wide, naturally occurring rock face. The word Bakthang is locally believed to mean 'rock garden' or 'forest meadow' in some contexts. Gentle Cascade: Unlike the forceful, high-plunge falls, Bakthang is characterized by a relatively gentle cascade, where the water fans out over the rocky slope, creating a white, foamy curtain effect. This makes it a safe and picturesque spot for families. Accessibility and Location: Its proximity to the main Gangtok town and its location right alongside the major highway leading to tourist hotspots like Tashi View Point and further to Nathula Pass makes it an extremely popular and easily accessible stop. The surroundings are maintained as a pleasant stopover point. Local Environment: The falls are set amidst a thick, lush green forest, and the atmosphere is serene and calming, offering a quick escape from the city bustle. The area is maintained by the Forest Department as a small scenic park or viewpoint. (Summary: 395 words)
