Ralang Monastery- One of the premium monastery in Sikkim belongs to the Kagyu order of Tibetan Buddhism.Though the one we visited is a new one which is in no doubt one of the most beautiful monastery in terms of architecture, wall Paintings etc. The drive through the beautiful countryside of Ralang Village is about 06 kms away from Ravangla town in South Sikkim. Our visit to this monastery was though not in our plan but while we were in Ravangla, we simply couldn't ignore this beautiful and important monastery so in this regard, we reached and there is nothing to regret as we could see one of the most beautiful wall paintings around...all well designed and marvelously touched and finished. While in South Sikkim, Ralang Monastery is a must visit place.

The monastery is very huge and situated on a hill top. The hill summit gives you beautiful view of the surrounding hills and even the monastery is very attractive. The place is a must visit.

We approached this place through the stairs beside Hotel Clouds Inn on Legship-Ravangla Road. There are other approaches as well. Be careful about taking this approach as there are more than 500 stairs cut in to the slope of the hill through a dense forest. For adventure lovers, this route is suggested. Do not try with kids, elders or people with knee problems. The downhill is relatively easy though some place the stairs are slippery and height of stairs are bit on the higher side. Carry plenty of water and very less weight in terms of bags / backpacks etc. The uphill will try your stamina. Be careful of leeches, other insects. There might be snakes as well. At the end of the stairs, you'll find the gompa. It is situated in a clearing with hills rising high behind. There is a small lake. The entire area is surrounded with prayer flags. Don't expect to see any human soul, a stray dog might be your only companion. Nevertheless, maintain the sanctity of the place. The view once you reach the gompa is amazing. The first thing you realize is peace, tranquility and humility. A moment of silence will enable you to hear chirping of birds in the surrounding forest. We loved it.....good place for photography
