Ralong Monastery

Reviewed By SGRG069 - Gangtok, India

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.

Samdruptse Hill

Reviewed By Sarmoh2207

Samdruptse Hill is one of the best places to be in Sikkim, infact all of Sikkim is the best place to be. I loved Sikkim and its natural beauty. A lot of Buddha Statues can be found in Sikkim, for exploring more such Buddha Statues in Sikkim, you can simply read the blog - thestonestudio.in It contains all the information regarding major Buddha Statues in Sikkim. The world's largest statue (at 118 feet) of the Buddhist Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche, the patron saint of Sikkim, is on the Samdruptse hill (The Wish Fulfilling hill) opposite Namchi. It was completed in February 2004. It is also said that the Samdruptse hill is actually a dormant volcano. Myths say that the Buddhist monks have been going on top of the hill and offering prayers to the volcano to keep it calm. There is also a Rock Garden a few kilometers from the town on the way to Samdruptse. The area has views of Mt. Kanchendzonga, aka Mt. Kangchenjunga, the world's third highest peak.

Temi Tea Garden

Reviewed By SKDR1951

We, two couples, all senior citizens visited this place and stayed at the Temi Tea Garden Guesthouse for two nights. It was a fabulous experience. The g/h is well maintained, the staff are courteous and the view is marvelous. On a clear day, one can see The Kanchanjangha sitting right at the balcony. Being located within the tea garden and the factory adjoining, one can have a look into the processing unit and also can purchase genuine Temi tea from the factory sales office. Finally, Kavita, the hostess of Temi. She deserves a wholehearted thanks for being so understanding and careful towards the elderly couples like us.

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.

Char Dham

Reviewed By DipamKalita - New Delhi, India

Chadham of East Sikkim is a miniature of Actual Char Dham & 12 Jyotirlingas of India. its truly an amazing experience. So beautifully maintained that, its gives a WOW feeling. The big statue of Lord Shiva can be seen many miles away from the complex. Basically it is a huge Hindu pilgrimage area on the top of the hill. The four sacred dham of India i.e. Badrinath dham, Jagannathdham, Darikadham and Rameshwaram are being replicated here and one can have the same feeling of traveling all these four places while just traveling in to Chardham of Sikkim.
