Kartok Monastery stands beside Kathok Lake in the heart of Yuksom, its red facade decorated with striking golden Tibetan motifs and traditional patterns. Named after a lama who played a key role in the coronation of Sikkim's first queen, it ranks among the town's three principal monasteries. Visitors are drawn here for its peaceful setting, fluttering prayer flags and quiet lakeside approach, making it an easy and rewarding addition to a short walking tour of central Yuksom.
