The whole experience is great ... its a steep road to reach the monastery from its base thru thick woods and gives an amazing feeling. Walk slowly and take your time to appreciate the nature around you. You hear lot of birds chirping & calls and If you are lucky you get to see the wood owl. The monastery and its surrounding area is well maintained and there is a lama school near it. Its a good 2/3 hour out and relish nature.

Tashi Ding is an active monastery in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. I recently visited to attend the cremation of my Tibetan master. The monastery was established in the 1600's. There are two holy caves visited by the master Guru Rinpoche located at the site. There is a stupa garden, two meditation halls, a prayer wheel house with an immense prayer wheel, as well as residences for the monks. On the walk up to the site is a little shop at which you can buy a traditional kata, or prayer shawl, to make an offering. Below the main site is one of the 8 great charnel grounds (burial sites) in the Buddhist tradition. The site is pretty high up and there is some steep walking, I recommend taking your time climbing the hill. Modest dress is most appropriate, generally long pants are best - not shorts.

Similar to the Scottish Stone of Scone. Four (three in person+ 1 in spirit) Lamas came from four directions and installed the 1st Chogyal ( Choe + rgyal , dharma king) named Phuntsog Namgyal ( Rnam+rgyal, all directions King). You feel like a witness to the ancient historical event giving the place its religion, culture, language and demography. A must see in Yuksom.

Small but beautiful and yet another sacred lake in Sikkim. It is believed that the lake is religiously connected with the consecration of the first king of Sikkim. Spent late afternoon or evening in the serene and peaceful surroundings of the lake and feel the peace of mind.
