Flower Exhibition Center – Ridge Park





FLOWER EXHIBITION CENTER - RIDGE PARK

The Flower Exhibition Centre in Gangtok brings flowers from all around Sikkim together under one roof, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts. It is a short walk from the MG Marg and is located directly across the White Memorial Hall and below the Ridge Park. Though flowers are presented throughout the year, the annual flower show, which takes place from April to May, is not to be missed because it is at this time that the management gathers and displays several varieties of orchids, as well as other flowers from around the state.

The middle of this medium-sized tropical greenhouse is filled with rare plant species, including various fresh orchid species such as Anthurium and Lilium. The presence of so many different types of colourful flowers, as well as their lovely scent, fills the entire centre, making it a highly relaxing destination for visitors. This gorgeous location is ideal for spending time simply admiring the flowers and taking photographs. Aside from that, there is an artificial water pond with a bridge built across it where travellers may take a short stroll while taking in the pleasant surroundings. Among the colourful and vivid bushes and flowers, one is likely to take stunning images.

Why should I visit this? there?

Ridge Park is a flower lover’s paradise. The latter is a flat stretch of road just above Gangtok Town that will go past in the blink of an eye if you’re into floriculture. The temperature in Sikkim is ideal for orchid growing, and you’ll lose track of how many varieties you see at Ridge Park. For those simply seeking to get a sense for Gangtok, a gazebo for passengers to rest while strolling this stretch is a fantastic addition.

The Flower Exhibition Centre, located beneath Ridge Park, hosts the Annual Orchid Show (FEC). While the greenhouse appears to be little, once inside, you are surrounded by a rainbow of colours.

When should I visit?

Spring is the best time to see these two attractions because they are all about flowers. Not only are the orchids in bloom, but there are a plethora of flower varieties in the park and exhibition centre vying for your attention.

The Ridge Park is open from 10 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. every day of the week. The event is free to attend.

The Flower Exhibition Centre charges a small entry fee of $10-20, and gates open at 9 a.m. and visitors must go by 5.15 p.m.

How should I visit?

If you’re visiting Gangtok’s major market, the FEC is a quick 20-minute stroll away. If you’d rather postpone the walking for when you arrive, a local cab from your hotel should take you to Ridge Park and the FEC in 12 to 15 minutes.

Tips for smooth travel

The Ridge Park is a relaxing spot for visitors and locals alike; please respect the tranquilly of this natural setting.

It is very forbidden to pluck flowers or leaves.

In the park and in the flower centre, smoking and public drinking are prohibited. Make sure you don’t leave any garbage behind.

If you’ve travelled around Sikkim, you’ve probably seen some spectacular flower vistas. The Sikkimese government’s attempt to conserve the state’s floriculture is Ridge Park and FEC.
