Description
Rumtek Monastery, also called the Dharmachakra Centre, is a gompa located in the Indian state of Sikkim near the capital Gangtok.This monastery is located in Rumtek, a place which is 23kms away from Gangtok town and in the opposite mountain. So if you visit Rumtek, there are vantage points from where you get amazing sights of the whole Gangtok town on the opposite hill. However from the gate at the base, it requires an uphill walk (about half a kilometer) to reach up to the main monastery.
Rumtek monastery is one of the largest in Sikkim(India) and belongs to the Kargyu sect of Buddhists which originated in the 12th century in Tibet. The architecture of the monastery is one of the finest in the world and resembles the original one in Tsurphu, Tibet.
Thanks to the skilled drivers of Gangtok who have taken me to this place as the roads are very steep & full of curves & clouds. It is at a height of 6500 feet.
