Hanuman Tok:

Location:Gangtok,Sikkim.

About:

Tok means a temple, so it’s a temple of Lord Hanuman. But it’s actually far more than that and known for its wonderful serene ambience and a viewing area that offers spectacular view of Kanchenjunga range. If you ask me which point in the whole of Gangtok area offers the best views of Kanchenjunga, I won’t hesitate to choose Hanuman Tok. It’s located at an altitude of 7,200 ft and on a road that branches off from the Gantok-Nathula Highway. It’s located at a distance of 11kms from Gangtok town.
