Lonely Planet review for Himalayan Zoological Park

From the gompa, follow the access road north-east around the base of an unmissable tele-communications tower. An initially obvious path scrambles up in around 15 minutes to Ganesh Tok viewpoint. Festooned in colourful prayer flags, Ganesh Tok offers superb city views and its minicafe serves hot teas. Across the road, a lane leads into the Himalayan Zoological Park. Red pandas, Himalayan bears and snow leopards roam around in extensive wooded enclosures so large that you’ll really value a car to shuttle between them.

    It is a part of the 10 point Gangtok visit and must see destination. Situated on a hill top, it is isolated and allows the animals a natural surrounding & habitat.
