Gangtok is Sikkim's hill capital and the main base for several permit-dependent mountain excursions.
Among the 4 active taxi routes, the useful difference is the day-wise plan: where the journey begins, whether Gangtok is a base or halt, and which movement is written into the fare.
For taxi planning, Gangtok may be the main destination, an overnight base, a sightseeing stop or the final drop. MG Marg, monasteries and viewpoints may be covered, while restricted-area excursions require separate confirmation. The selected day-wise itinerary—not the destination name—decides what the cab covers.
Price is per vehicle, not per person. Open an itinerary for its route, sightseeing and fare details.

It was a small trip with my parents, and keeping things straightforward was important. The driver knew the route well and helped us avoid unnecessary delays. We were carrying extra luggage and the driver helped us manage it. We liked the time spent around the route; it did not feel hurried. It was a comfortable trip and we got what had been discussed before departure.
I went with my sister and parents and we were happy with the overall flow. What we appreciated most was that the trip felt practical rather than over-planned. We especially enjoyed the main sightseeing. No major issue during the journey and the overall experience was positive.
