The Government Institute of Cottage Industry was set up in 1957 as a centre for the preservation and development of the traditional arts and crafts of Sikkim. It takes a few minutes to walk from the main Gangtok market. The emporium at the institute sells an array of local traditional Sikkimese items like Carpets, typical foldable Choksis (tables), wooden masks and handmade paper.
