Pemayangtse Monastery

The famous Buddhist Monastery Pemayangtse Monastery is located in Pemayangtse, inside the Pelling district of Sikkim. One of the country's oldest monasteries, it is perched on a hill with a commanding view of the ancient Rabdentse ruins, which once served as the capital of the Sikkim Kingdom. Translation: 'Perfect, chic lotus'. Pemayangtse is considered to be one of the 4 nerve networks (vessels) inside the human body. 

The prominent feature of this monastery is the collection of statues honouring Padmasambhava, the Guru Rinpoche who brought Buddhism lower back to Tibet, along together with his consorts. Since its final touch in 1705, the Pemayangtse Monastery—one of the oldest in the nation—has been an imperative element of Sikkim's Buddhist pilgrimage direction for generations. The oldest of the 4 faculties of Tibetan Buddhism, the Nyingma Order, is looked for by way of the monastery. The clergymen selected from most of the Bhutias of Sikkim may be diagnosed by way of their red headgear.

The vintage monastery is situated at an outstanding elevation of 2085 meters (6840 feet) above sea stage, making it a visually striking sight. Pemayangtse Monastery is also the beginning factor of the famous Dzongri hiking route. From the monastery, one might also enjoy lovely perspectives of the Kangchenjunga massif, which is home to five eight-thousander peaks, referred to as the "Five Treasures of Snow." You can include this in your Pelling Tour Package.
