Tashiding Monastery Sikkim
The Himalayas have attracted mystical seekers for millennia. Nowhere else in the world are you as close to the sky as here. This applies both to the mundane altitudes of the giant mountains and, literally, to the fact that nowhere in the world are there so many worshipped sacred mountains, lakes, rivers, caves, temples, and monasteries as here. There is hardly a place in the magnificent mountains of Sikkim that is deprived of old stories. The legends associated with the places, shrines, lakes, and mountains make them worthy of worship.
It is believed that these places have been especially blessed by the presence of holy personages and therefore possess healing powers. All these places exude a spirit of magic that hardly leaves anyone untouched and draws one to look inwards, away from the hustle of the metropolitan rush of everyday life.
Sikkim is the perfect holiday destination for those seeking to be adorned by architecture, ancient history, and natural and man-made beauty. Adding to the immense natural beauty, there are numerous old religious sites and ancient temples in Sikkim, attracting a plethora of travelers from all over the globe.
