New Delhi, 14th March 2024: ITC Hotels has announced its foray in the North East with the signing of Welcomhotel Gangtok. The 60 keys property showcases breathtaking views of Mount Kanchenjunga, the highest peak in India and the third highest mountain peak in the world, from every room. Backed by the cuisine expertise of ITC Hotels, Welcomhotel Gangtok will offer two Food and Beverage outlets: ‘Mayal’ the all-day dining restaurant, a pool cafe and bar. The 150 covers ‘Mayal’ brings diners the much popular and loved Sikkimese delicacies. The restaurant is spread both indoors and outdoors, giving guests a picture postcard view of the valley! This local cuisine is already a big favourite with food enthusiasts and travelers who choose to travel to the North East for its immense scenic beauty and food.

Ideally located in the vicinity of Gangtok’s famous MG Market, the Flower Exhibition Centre as well as other popular sightseeing spots, Welcomhotel Gangtok is expected to open early 2025 in a new avatar.

Gangtok becomes the perfect gateway to north and east. These destinations have been gaining popularity with domestic and international tourists over the years. From admiring the pristine waters of River Teesta, Ban Jhakri Falls, a visit to the Rumtek Monastery or the famous Nathula Pass, Tsomgo Lake or making memorable memories at Tashi Viewpoint, Gangtok and its vicinity has abundant natural beauty and tourists’ attractions.
