Even though Buddhism is the religion that is more prevalent in the valleys of the state, Hinduism has also managed to touch the lives of people of Gangtok in a big way. Apart from Buddhism, people here also follow Hinduism. Likewise, there are some famous Hindu temples apart from some of the remarkable Buddhist monasteries. The word “Tok” means temple in the local language. Hanuman Tok is a very famous temple in Gangtok which is dedicated to the Hindu deity Hanuman. Lord Hanuman is believed to be the biggest “bhakti” or follower of Lord Rama. The temple is located nearly 5-kilometres from the White Hall, on the Gangtok- Nathu La highway. It is situated at a height of nearly 7200 feet on the upper slopes of Gangtok. As it is said that beautiful things are hard to get, it is applicable here also. People are required to climb many stairs to reach the top where the temple is rested.
Irrespective of the religious beliefs, people visit this temple for its beauty and serenity. The temple is very famous for its serene atmosphere and aesthetic appeal. If your eyes go off the Lord, you can also set them on the fantastic panorama of the monumental Kanchenjunga peaks.
