Description
The Rumtek Monastery is located at a distance of 23 km from Gangtok and is surrounded by lush green mountains. It is a visual retreat besides offering spiritual solace. The architectural design of the monastery is very similar to Kagyu headquarters, one of the schools for Tibet Buddhism. A Buddhism college, Karma Shri Nalanda Institute for Higher Buddhist Studies is situated opposite to the monastery. A walkway surrounds the Rumtek monastery, where monks, pilgrims and visitors perform kora (one of the circuits round a monastery). Inside the main monastery there is a -year retreat center, a monastic college, stupas, a protector's shrine, institutions for the lay community and various other establishments. The beautiful monastery has preserved a golden stupa and many sculptures which belong to the 16th Karmapa. The monastery gained its importance after China annexed Tibet because many religious gurus relocated from Tibet to Sikkim. It is a store house of many religious art objects and some of the world's most unique religious scriptures.

It's was made under the instructions of Wangchuk Dorje the 9th karmapa lama in mid of 18th century. It's was situated near gangtok city. Having lush of greenery outside and far from the city make the environment inside quiet and calm. Must visit place during visit in sikkim.
