Gangtok, Sikkim · 27.3478°, 88.6286°
A hilltop Hanuman shrine about 11 km above Gangtok at some 2,195 m, raised over a sacred stone by the administrator Appaji Pant in 1950 and completed in 1952; the Indian Army later took over the surrounding land and maintains it, and it commands a wide view of the Kangchenjunga range.
What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.
Hanuman is said to have set down to rest at this spot while carrying the Sanjeevani herb from Dunagiri to revive Lakshmana.
