How expensive is living in Mangan compared to other Sikkim towns?

Mangan’s cost of living is generally lower than the state capital. Grocery prices, local produce, and basic utilities are modest, but imported goods and certain services can be pricier due to transport costs. Rent for a single-bedroom apartment in the town center typically falls below the average for larger cities, while larger family homes in outskirts are affordable. Overall, you can expect a 10-15% lower monthly expense than in Gangtok, especially for food and local transport.
