Dubdi Monastery in Yuksom is more than just a place of worship; it is a peaceful retreat nestled in the lush forests of West Sikkim. Built in 1701, it is the oldest monastery in the state and holds deep spiritual and historical importance. Perched at 2,100 meters, the monastery can only be reached by trekking for about an hour through a quiet trail surrounded by chestnut and oak trees.
Along the way, you’ll walk through fresh mountain air, with the sound of chirping birds and views of distant snow-covered peaks. Once you reach the top, the sight of the simple yet beautifully painted two-storey structure instantly calms your senses. Inside, you’ll find sacred texts, paintings, and statues of the three lamas who helped establish the monastery.
One of the most serene things to do in Sikkim is to visit Dubdi Monastery, which allows you to connect with nature and explore the rich spiritual roots of the region.
