A compact 19th‑century Tibetan Buddhist gompa perched on a ridge above Gangtok — shoot whitewashed buildings, colorful prayer flags, monks, ritual items and sweeping views of the Kanchenjunga range. Best light: early morning and late afternoon for warm side light; winter mornings give the clearest mountain views, monsoon brings misty atmospherics. The monastery is a short drive uphill from MG Marg (limited parking nearby); modest dress and quiet behavior are required, shoes removed inside. Small
