One of the most celebrated research centres of Tibetan history and culture, the Namgyal Institute of Tibetology is cradled by lush green forests of oak and birch. Located a couple of kilometres away from Gangtok, the building houses a spacious museum where numerous ancient artifacts, artworks, coins, statues of manuscripts in Sanskrit, Tibetan and Chinese are showcased. There's also a library that is a part of the institute, harbouring countless resources in Tibetan language, mountains, history and culture. The striking attributes of Tibetan architecture are mirrored in the institute’s grand exterior too.
