Padmasambhava Statue
Painted in shimmering copper and bronze, the impressively vast 45m-high Padmasambhava statue dominates the Samdruptse hilltop. Completed in 2004 on a foundation stone laid by the Dalai Lama, it’s visible from miles around, shining like a golden cone amid the forests of Samdruptse Hill. Reputedly it can be seen from Darjeeling and most certainly by its rival, Shiva, on Solophuk Hill opposite. The site is 7km from Namchi, 2km off the Damthang road.

Sisne Mandir
At its western-most edge, Jorethang’s most striking feature is the Akar Suspension Bridge, 400m north of which are the passingly photogenic roadside Shiva niches of Sisne Mandir.
