Sanghak Choeling Monastery

Meditative little monastery with seven stone stupas on its south side that are attractively unpainted. It was founded in 1649, along with now-bigger Pemayangtse, by Lhatsun Chenpo – the great lama who had recently left Yuksom after conducting the coronation ceremony for Sikkim's first chogyal (king). The main monastery building was rebuilt in 1714 and 1966 and has a vividly painted interior. It's directly above (south of) the Chenrezig cable car station but invisible from there.
