Rumtek Monastery stands as a magnificent glowing symbol of pure Tibetan architecture. Located on a steep hill directly facing the main city of Gangtok, it serves as the official seat of the Karmapa Lama. You walk through the heavy decorated gates and the deep rhythmic chanting of hundreds of monks instantly surrounds you. The massive complex features brightly painted traditional murals, intricate silk thangkas, and perfectly maintained courtyard gardens. You climb to the top floors and look out over the deep green valley below. The incredibly peaceful energy of this ancient spiritual center quickly forces your busy racing mind to slow down and find total stillness.
