PEMAYANGTSE
PEMAYANGTSE
Located in the western part of Sikkim, Pemayangtse is a small but important Buddhist pilgrim centre. It is a beautiful place surrounded by natural splendour of Eastern Himalayas with fascinating views of the mighty Kanchenjunga peak that overlooks the town. Pemayangtse is home to one of the oldest monasteries in Sikkim - the Pemayangtse Monastery. The monastery houses numerous religious idols and other objects of worship, most of which are precious because of their antiquity. On the top floor of the monastery there is a wooden sculpture depicting the Maha Gurus Heavenly Palace "Sanghthokpalri". This master piece was completed by the late Dungzin Rimpoche, who took five years to craft it single handed.
