In downloading the GDAL bindings the latest version I can find is release-1800-gdal-2-1-2-mapserver-7-0-2 so I installed the following: gdal-201-1800-core.msi and GDAL-2.1.2.win32-py3.4.msi.

IDLE does not normally cause imports to fail (though it often get
blamed), but one can check by running, in this case, 3.6, from the
Windows console (ie, Command Prompt) and trying the same import statement.

Does C:\Program Files\GDAL contain a package 'osgeo' containing a module
'gdal'?
I am not sure if the version mismatch pointed out by others would cause
that particular error. If replacing the 3.4 package with a 3.6 package
fixes your problem completely, please let us know.
