Coronation Throne of Namgyal Dynasty Yuksom

The Coronation Throne of the Namgyal Dynasty, an ancient relic of Tibetan heritage, stands as a symbol of authority and tradition. Crafted with intricate designs and adorned with precious gems, it embodies the lineage's sovereignty and spiritual significance. Each coronation ceremony held upon its hallowed seat marks the continuation of a legacy passed down through generations, bridging the past with the present in a timeless ritual of power and honor.

Kartok Monastery

The Kartok Monastery, adorned with crimson walls, gilded edges, and fluttering prayer flags, radiates timeless Tibetan elegance. Set beside the peaceful Kartok Lake in Pakyong, it was built in the 17th century and named after the lama who helped crown Sikkim's first Chogyal, adding to its royal and spiritual significance.

The still waters of the lake mirror the monastery, which is surrounded by terraced fields and the distant peaks of the Himalayas. The scenic beauty is both a photographer's dream and a pilgrim's refuge. It is a part of Yuksom's sacred trio, along with Dubdi and Ngadak Chorling Monasteries. Kartok is more than a historical landmark; it is a living chapter of Sikkim’s spiritual legacy.

Dubdi Monastery Yuksom

Dubdi Monastery, also known as Yuksom Monastery, is a historic Buddhist monastery located in Yuksom, a small town in the Indian state of Sikkim. It is one of the oldest monasteries in Sikkim and holds significant cultural and religious importance.

Aslesha Desai Dzongri Trek

Excellent

I am madly and deeply in love with Sikkim. I can't believe a place like this can be so beautiful and still people are unaware about it. Walking through narrow pathways and tiny hamlets on the way make this place all the more interesting and worth the effort.

Divjot Pillai Dzongri Trek

Excellent

Though Dzongri trekking is a short trek of 11 days in West Sikkim, it is quite challenging because of altitude acclimatization. But the package includes an overnight stay in a local hut in Tshoka village that will help you to adapt to the change in weather. The accommodation is quite comfortable and includes all the basic amenities.
