Spanning a vast area in East Sikkim, Ranka Monastery—also known as Lingdum Monastery—is a masterpiece of Tibetan Buddhist architecture. This sprawling complex follows the Zurmang Kagyu sect and features a massive golden Buddha statue within its main prayer hall. Surrounded by forested hills, the monastery offers a peaceful environment for spiritual contemplation. Visitors can observe young monks in training, admire the intricate wall paintings, and enjoy the panoramic views of the verdant mountain valleys.
