Kagyu Thekchen Ling Monastery - Buddhist temple in Lava - default, India

Religious place. Very nice view of the mountains. Now and then fogs covers the entire monastery . Very disciplined area. Neat and clean. One can hangout with kids and other family members for hours. Place of mental peace.

Lava Monastery is located in tge hill top at Lava. This place is so quiet and peaceful and the natural view of green mountains, white clouds, blue sky, green pine forest is mind blowing. The people here so nicely behaved and so peaceful. This place is a famous tourist spot attraction in lava. People of every age will definitely enjoy coming here and spend some quality time with nature. I have visited there twice and really loved the place

Lava Monastery is one the biggest monasteries in Darjeeling hills region. It's an epitome of peace and bliss. A colorful monastery with a beautiful mountain landscape behind is not only a treat to the eyes but also a relief to the mind. Visit: This is a one stop destination on the way towards Lava national park and Chenge falls. A little uphill walk from the entrance takes you to the monastery but no stairs are there. So elders won't find that much difficult to climb. Market: There is a shop inside run by the monastery trust. All the profit from the shop goes for the schooling and food for the children. It actually has some really good sculptures, clothes and many decorative items. Buy whatever you like and contribute to the trust. Apart from this, small shops are also present outside the monastery campus. Fooding and Lodging: There are many options available in terms of hotels. It's not necessary to book in advance, on the spot booking available most of the time. Roadside food stalls are present in plenty however when we went in March 2023, most of them were closed without any reason. Only one or two were available although the food was good. Overall, I would say that this is a good stop on the way not really ideal for a one night stay. #If you like my review, follow me for more such reviews on traveling and fooding.

A very peaceful and beautiful Monastery at Lava, from where you can also enjoy the mesmerizing view of the mountains... No entry tickets are required and you can spend plenty of quality time... I found it to be the best attraction of the place...

The monastery is very well maintained and gives some great views of both Lava town as well as the mountain. The place was slightly overcrowded even on a weekday most probably because of summer holidays in schools. Beautiful flowers can be seen on the sides of the stairs to reach the temple level.

The most calming and peaceful monastery in Lava. Little bit of drizzle made it even more beautiful. Please don't ruin the beauty of this place. Saw one couple and with their "4" children loitering the premises of this monastery. I did my part by raising my boice against such thing. If you guys reading this review find someone like this, don't forget to raise your voice. Thank you.

A very nice place for visit in Lava, Kalimpong... A very beautiful sightseen like gathering of clouds and beayty of Kanchanjang.... Love it

This place dosntnjave clean public washroom specially for the women . There is no accessibility option for the elderly or the disabled persons. The suvinior shop Lamas charge exorbitant amount and hardly can explain the significance of special buddhist suviniour . I felt like taking to shopkeeper rather than a monk .
