Gangtok, the capital city of Sikkim, offers you a spectacular view of Mt. Kanchenjunga in the distance. The pristine hill station nestled in mountains and clouds is also a base for trekkers to the Himalayan mountain ranges. The mesmerizing beauty and the beautiful winding hill roads are even more breathtaking if seen from a bird’s eye view in a cable car. Visit Do Drul Chorten, the biggest stupa in Sikkim. Popularly known as Phurba, this holy stupa is girdled with 108 prayer wheels. These prayer wheels have a holy inscription engraved on it, Om Mani Padma Hum. The Institute of Tibetology houses a collection of rare Sanskrit, Lepcha and Tibetan manuscripts, sculptures and Thankas. There are some treasured artifacts and Buddhist icons. It is also a center of Buddhist religion and philosophy. The Rumtek monastery and Dharma Chakra Centre are one of the most important sites for every Buddhist. There is a Golden stupa located inside the monastery, which encompasses the relics of the 16th Karmapa.
