Considered one of the most important monastery belonging to the Nyingma order of Tibetan Buddhism, Pemayangtse monastery said to be founded around 1647-48 AD and established fully as a monastery in the year 1705 AD is about a couple of kilometres from Pelling Town. Situated at the hill top about 2100 mtrs overlooking the surroundings areas of Pelling and other towns and villages also offers the majestic view of Mt. Khangchendzonga and its adjacent peaks. The other important factor of the monastery is about its enrollment of the monks wherein one should be from the pure Tibetan lineage to get enrolled and the head monk of the monastery was reserved the honor of crowning the Chogyals (King of Sikkim) during the time of Monarchy rules. The " Sandhokpalri" or Guru Rimpoche's heavenly abode which is a beautiful wooden masterpiece is one of the main attraction of the monastery. We, like most nature and adventure seekers preferred to take a walk from Pelling instead of driving a car. The walk in itself is enjoying and the road through tall Pine trees and many other trees all along the way is something i could say a good experience. 30-40 minutes walk will reach one to the top of the hill where the monastery is situated and tiredness goes away as soon as you reach to the main gate (my personal feeling) The monastery is truly amazing in terms of its architectures and paintings and some of the rare statues of different deity's of the monastery and the region. Its already a divine blessing to be there....!!!

An awesome place to visit during your stay in Pelling region of Sikkim. As it was within a stone’s throw distance of our Elgin heritage resort , we visited this place twice during our trip in west Sikkim. A beautiful and tranquil place with its own charm. Mesmerising views of Himalayan mountain range could be seen from this monastery.

Impeccable service standards, right from check-in. Right from the bar to the restaurants and especially the room service, thank you so much for making the trip special! I'd especially like to thank the following members of staff; Bar: Rahman, Gobhardan and Abhishek Chetri. Room Service: Chungchung, Bhimkumari and Tara. Restaurant: Bijay Reception: Abhijeet and all managers on duty. In short, these are just a few of the names, every member of the staff and crew is exceptional with an incredible customer-centric attitude and infinite resourcefulness. The property is exceptional, the buffet is interesting with a lot of options. Both the staff and managers were proactive in their zeal to celebrate my mother's birthday and even sent in a cake personally to make it all the more special. Thank you so much for the amazing experience!
