Rumtek monastery is the biggest monsatry in eastern India. One will need to carry original id and address proof to get an entry to the monastry. Vehicles are not allowed inside the gate so one needs to walk up till the main monastry. The view from Monastry is breath taking as one can get a full view of Gangtok city. The place is quiet and gives a wonderful feeling. Paintings on the wall of the main monastery is mesmerizing.

Visited during May 2019, During this time of year May, It is a Purple color treat for us. Rhododendrons are in full bloom during our visits, This Valley is definitely treat for our Eyes during season time of Mid April to May. Surrounded by Snow Capped Mountains, lovely river flow, yak ride along the river bed, Just Mesmerizing. Guys, after taking photos, just sit in the bench fixed along the river bed, forget about all, just enjoy the view and weather, Your worries will be vanished. Yak ride charges here are less than Changu lake. Must go place during season with Young Kids.

A natural thrill...Tarey bhir in Sadam, South Sikkim near Namchi is one beautiful place to be at. About 10000 feets in length, the ridge offers a magnificent views of the surrounding. The view point at the edge of the ridge offers a beautiful and panoramic view of the confluence of River Teesta and River Rangeet, the two major rivers of Sikkim. The point also offers the views of Kalimpong town in West Bengal and other adjacent parts. we had a wonderful couple of hours going down the ridge and coming up...its a good place for a nature lover who loves to be in a beautiful and peaceful natures beauty.

We entered the gates leading to the ruins and the bird sanctuary. There's a small lake which is regarded as holy and the chirping of the birds to keep you company as you walk by. We chose to buy some toffees before going to the ruins for some energy on the way - just in case. There's a small restaurant at the entrance itself where you can buy things and get something to eat before or after your walk. The trail divides into two and one goes into the bird sanctuary and the other goes into the palace ruins. Since it is winding trail, as opposed to the short distance from the other Gangtok sights, every so often there are people asking passers-by about how much further to go!! We also asked on our way to the ruins and got asked on our way back from the ruins... Both parties would end up laughing about how long the trail is. It is not that long!! But it does take about 15-20 minutes and the walk through the wooded place is indeed very peaceful. Just 100 metres from the ruins, the Archeological Society of India has put up a funny board which had us in splits because it was the least expected thing in the middle of the jungle. And we did get to the ruins which is a sight in itself. The ruins comprise the outer and inner walls and finally the palace itself. One can only see the ruins of the palace. There's a toilet and museum at a distance which we chose to skip. There's a lady selling tea, local snacks and toffees at the entrance. We walked through the ruins and imagined how beautiful it might have been then! We took a lot of pictures and spent more time taking in the view. There are splendid views on the left and the front where you can see the mountains in the distance. Those travelling with kids will have a good time but will need to watch the small ones. We walked back to the entrance and bought packaged snacks and juice at the restaurant. We saw other groups ordering the local lunch thali.
