When you are in Sikkim, you have several monasteries to visit. Though they are beautiful, these monasteries, one does tend to look for something else after visiting five of them. By this time, you are probably tired, looking for a place that would soothe you. If you are in luck and the weather favors you, Ganesh Tok can be the perfect conclusion to your day tour.
The word "tok" means temple. Ganesh Tok is a temple located at an altitude of 6,500ft, about 5 kms from Gangtok Mall. It is right opposite the Gangtok Zoo and very close to a Pine forest and Tashi View Point. It is a good idea to hire a cab to reach this place as the climb is steep and will tire you out if you are not in the mood to trek. And if you are going there at the end of a long day, I am assuming you will not be in the mood.
