With the backdrop of the Kanchenjunga range, stands a monastery called the Bhutia Busti Gompa. This monastery was shifted from the Observatory hills to it's present place. The gompa is a branch of the Nyingmapa sect's Phodang Monastery in Sikkim. The monastery is not far from the Chowrasta and is very tastefully decorated. It also has a library, which has a copy of the 'Tibetan book of the dead'. |
