Ranka Monastery (Lingdum Monastery)

India /Sikkim /East Sikkim /Gangtok

Ranka Monastery (Lingdum Monastery) which is located about 20 kms from Gangtok town in east Sikkim. Edit

Detail InformationEdit

Ranka monastery is displayed in a large space with nice scenic views. Since it’s relatively a new religious residence and does not have much historical or strategic significance like Rumtek religious residence. No marvel several movie industry movies have this religious residence featured. The religious residence follows the Zurmang Kagyud lineage of Buddhism and beneath the direction of the 12th successor of the lineage Zurmang Gharwang Rinpoche. It’s enclosed by wooded mountains all told sides. This in my read must be one in every of the most picture excellent monasteries in east Sikkim. however the road to Ranka has been lying in treacherous condition since quite some time and therefore the journey would be heavy. However the rewards also are amazing for this 8km journey from Gangtok.
