Ganesh Tok
~5 km | Approximately 15 minutes
A small hilltop shrine above Gangtok with a viewing balcony that opens onto the town below and the Kanchenjunga range beyond it. The shrine itself is modest and reached by a short flight of steps; what draws people is the outlook, which is at its clearest early in the day before the valley hazes over.
