MG Marg's Victorian-style street lights, paved paths, and bakeries give it a distinct European feel, earning it the nickname "London Street" of India.
MG Marg was the first place in India to be declared a "Spit, Litter, and Smoking Free Zone" in 2008, setting a high standard for cleanliness in the country.
While its exact origins are unclear, it's believed MG Marg was renamed after Mahatma Gandhi following Sikkim's integration with India in 1975.
More than just shops and restaurants, MG Marg hosts various cultural and food festivals, showcasing the vibrant Sikkimese culture and cuisine.
Due to its proximity to the Chinese border, some shops in MG Marg offer duty-free items like winter clothes at attractive prices.
