Bakthang Falls
A roadside waterfall beside the North Sikkim Highway. A flying fox (zipline) crosses above the falls, and it is often the first stop on the way to North Sikkim.
Bakthang Falls lies beside the road about 3 km north of the city center. The water tumbles down steep rock walls in several tiers. It is not very tall, but the flow is strong. The site offers a flying fox (zipline) across the falls and small adventure activities such as rock climbing. Viewing is free, and a stop of 15–30 minutes is enough. It is often scheduled on the same route as Tashi View Point and Seven Sisters Falls.
