Tsuglakhang Monastery & Temple - Featured Reviews (147)
This monastery holds some special value as it is near the Royal palace of Sikkim and considered as the royal chapel. I went there during a festival called Pang Lhabsol, on this day their is special rituals were conducted and there is an amazing monk dance that was organised. Very peaceful place on the hilltop and have an amazing view of Kanchenjunga mountain if the sky is clear... do try their Tibetan good at the monastery cafe along with ginger lemon honey tea. In all a scenic and peaceful palce to pay homage to Budhdha in a classic styled historical monastery...
Located on the top of the hill, Tsuglakhang was the Royal Chapel of the erstwhile Royal Family of Kingdom of Sikkim. The coronation ceremony of the 12th Chogyal Palden Thondup Namgyal took place here. On the left side of the Monastery there is situated the humble abode of the last reigning Chogyals of Sikkim which can be viewed from far. One cannot enter inside the palace but they can enter the monastery and worship. There is also a monastic school there however you need to enter from the back gate( near Secretariat) and not the main gate. No entry fee is required to enter the premises. It is a 10 minutes walk from MG Marg( if you take the shortcut). Reserve vehicle should not cost you more than (Rs 150-200). However I prefer walking( ask the locals for directions) Once here you can truly feel the bliss and serenity in the air. Not many people come here and is free from noise and commotion except for that of the nature. Added to that you can enjoy a scenic view of opposite hill from the site.
Good place to see one of the nicest designed monastery of Sikkim.
Great place, peaceful and view were great loved it
One of the beautiful places to visit in Gangtok
Nice and relaxing trek up and the monastery itself is amazing. The palace is out of bounds but the view from the monastery grounds is amazing.
I would recommend this as a must visit place compared to other attractions. It's a quite and calm place. If you like to walk, then take the road from MG marg.
