Sikkim’s Striking Splendour

The Tsongo Lake

Sikkim is full of culture, history, and natural wonders. The temples, the church and the mosque. The nurseries for exotic plants. And many more. But the foremost is the Rumtek monastery. The entire complex is spread over an area of about 74 acres. It houses the Dharma Chakra Centre and the Karma Shri Nalanda Institute, writes J.L. Gupta

THE land of large lakes. Majestic mountains. Rivers and ravines. Snow -covered peaks and vast valleys. Of monasteries. Of the mystic and the mysterious. Of religion and rituals. Of people, who extend a friendly hand and give a warm welcome. To everyone, from everywhere.
