We were at 14,100 feet at Nathu La. The board said 500 feet to the China border but this was the most difficult part, as we had to walk this distance in pouring rain, steep, slippery paths breathing heavily in the rarefied atmosphere. Finally we reached the top and the feeling cannot simply be explained in words. Only a thick rope separated us from China. In fact, one Jawan held his hand out sideways and said “ Main India me hoon aur mera haath hai China ke ooper”. We waved at a Chinese soldier who shouted out ‘ Hi’ in return. It is that close. Moved a little further to the viewing balcony and what lay below us was a piece of history - Nathu La Pass at the start of the ancient Silk Road. The gates on either sides of the border with the Tricolor and the Chinese flag fluttering are a sight to behold. We also saw a convoy of 24 Chinese trucks escorted by an Indian pilot vehicle head for the trading centre in India, Sherathang. A MUST visit place for every Indian is Nathu La. Plan to visit again when there is snow all round. The true meaning of the Army slogan “ we gave our today for your tomorrow” hit me like a thunderbolt. These valiant young men in the Army and the Border Roads Organisation brave the elements in protecting us and our motherland, even as we lead comfortable lives in cities. My hand went up in an involuntary salute. Jai Jawan! Photography is strictly prohibited at the top and the viewing gallery. Respect the armymen who request certain shameless trigger-happy tourists not to click. There is a small cafe, but extremely crowded. A small washroom is there too but too dirty to use.

IT is such a calm and serene place to visit. WE were the first to visit. We reached there on our return from gangtok in the morning by 9AM. It was such a sight to behold and have the monastery all for yourself Monks do stay there and there is such good view for mountains and breeze all around. A stretch of road to the monastery is not so good though that doesn't matter when you get such amazing views.

I along with my wife visited Hanuman Tok on 30th Jan'21. Hanuman Tok is around 11 km from Gangtok and is located at height of approximately 7000 feet on the upper reaches of Gangtok. The temple is dedicated to lord Hanuman, and maintained by the Indian army. It was established in 1952. Hanuman Tok offers a spectacular view of Kanchenjunga and has beautiful view-point where one can capture the beauty of nature and cherish it for lifetime. Please Note - Don't forget to go to the building exactly opposite to the main Hanuman temple as its has whole story of Hanuman Tok beautifully engraved and written. Jai Barangbali

Tsukglakhang Monastery is actually not a sightseeing point per se .It is the chapel for the Royal family of Sikkim where ceremonies are held on important days such as Pang Lhabsol ,where the mountain deity Khangchendzonga is revered and worshiped,starting with Neysol prayers and with the Dabla Pangtoed cham known as the Warriors dance. The Tsuklakhang Monastery lies in the premises of the Royal palace compound,and is the highest point in the Gangtok area marked by a rock in the compound. A request to travelers,to maintain the sanctity of the palace area.Follow the simple rules put down for any monastery and be kind to each other.
