Sterling Holiday Resorts has expanded its footprint in the Eastern Himalayas with the launch of Sterling Mount Olive Gangtok. This new addition marks Sterling’s second property in the city, strategically positioned in the Development Area—Gangtok’s business and administrative hub. Unlike its sister property, Sterling Gangtok Orange Village, which offers a secluded resort experience, Mount Olive is designed as a contemporary city hotel for travelers seeking urban connectivity and proximity to the city’s commercial pulse.
