Seven Sisters Falls – Gangtok

As the name suggests, the Seven Sisters Falls consists of seven different waterfalls arranged side by side on a wide hill that looks different from a distance. This famous waterfall is located 32 km from Gangtok on the Gangtok-Lachung Highway. It makes it look more beautiful after rain when it comes to life and provides an interesting view. Through the green vegetation the dirt passes over the hills and falls on the limestone making a roaring sound. The sunset scene draws visitors in to enjoy a long photography session. The Tourist and Civil Aviation Department built a waiting shed and a cafeteria for tourists to refresh themselves and for clicking pictures of the beauty of this nature, Seven Sisters Falls became a perfect picnic spot to spend time with family and friends.

The fascinating Seven Sisters waterfall got its name initially because it falls into seven stages of which only four steps from the bottom are visible to visitors. The rest of it falls very high and hides in the middle of the rock, preventing it from being seen. The view of the water falling against the luxurious hills in the background is enough to spell out the tourists which makes it one of the most visited and photographed waterfalls in the region. This photo-perfect space is loved by photographers, nature lovers, and picnickers. To give its visitors a better view and photographic break, a small footbridge crossing over the stream has been built here. The rainy season is the best time to visit Seven Sisters Falls or when the ice melts at this time the waterfall comes back to life and is an absolute joy to see. If you are planning a trip to Gangtok, do not miss to include this place in your essentials for its amazing beauty and the incredible location is worth a visit.
