Location

The ICFAI University, Sikkim, Gangtok is located at the picturesque Himalayas in the Shivalik Hills of the eastern Himalayan range, at an altitude of 1,437 metres (4,715 ft); bestowing it with natural landscape and being blessed with an enviable cool climate throughout the year. The University can be lauded for its connectivity by air and road transport. Gangtok meaning 'lofty hill' was said to have been a small village until it gained the status of an important pilgrimage centre. Gangtok rose to prominence as a popular Buddhist pilgrimage site after the construction of the Enchey Monastery in 1840. In 1894, the ruling Sikkimese Chogyal, Thutob Namgyal, transferred the capital to Gangtok. In the early 20th century, Gangtok became a major stopover on the trade route between Lhasa in Tibet and cities such as Kolkata (then Calcutta) in British India. After India won its independence from Britain in 1947, Sikkim chose to remain an independent monarchy, with Gangtok as its capital. In 1975, after the integration with the Union of India, Gangtok was made India's twenty-second state capital. First public airport 'Pakyong Airport' was operational from September 2018 onwards, which connects Gangtok with other parts of India. Now, instead of taking flights from Bagdogra (125 km away), passengers can directly board and deport from Gangtok, for other cities.
