It's by far one of the most popular and largest monasteries in the entire Sikkim, tbh. Located in Rumtek district, nearly 23 km away from the main town of Gangtok, it belongs to the Kargyu sect of Buddhists. Known for the striking resemblance to the famous Tsurphu Monastery of Tibet, the main temple spans four stories, and overlooks the sprawling town of Gangtok. It is also famous as the Dharma Chakra Centre. The monastery commands outstanding views of the neighbouring mountains and valleys.
