Ganesh Tok is a small and prominent Hindu temple located in the capital city of Gangtok in the Indian state of Sikkim.

Despite its size, Ganesh Tok has become a popular spot for tourists due to its religious significance and the serene environment. The temple is adorned with colorful flags and has a lounge and balcony that visitors can use to soak in the breathtaking vistas.
