Monasteries are a central part of Sikkim's landscape and identity. Each one tells a story—not just through murals or architecture but through the rituals, prayer chants, and monks who live there. Whether you visit Rumtek near Gangtok, the hilltop Pemayangtse near Pelling, or the quiet Tashiding, you will find a space that invites reflection, not just tourism. These are working monasteries, not just attractions.
