About Flower Exhibition Centre-Gangtok

Flower Exhibition Centre-Gangtok is floral heaven. The latter is a flat stretch of road exactly above Gangtok Town and if you’re into floriculture, an hour or two will pass by in the blink of an eye. Sikkim’s weather conditions are conducive to orchid cultivation and you will lose count of the number of varieties you spot at Ridge Park. A gazebo for travellers to rest while walking this stretch is a great addition for those simply wanting to get a feel of Gangtok.

The Annual Orchid Show takes place below the Ridge Park at the Flower Exhibition Centre (FEC). While the greenhouse might look modest in size, once you step in you are lost among a variety of colours.

Since the attraction is all about the flowers, spring(April-May-June) is the perfect season to visit.A plethora of flower varieties vie for your attention in the exhibition centre.

The Flower Exhibition Centre has a nominal ₹10-20 entry fee and the gates open at 9 a.m. and visitors have to leave by 5.15 p.m.
