Tendong Hill Trek - Damthang, Sikkim - India
After a couple of days traveling we loved to get out of the car and stretch our legs!! As you see I needed to stretch some more... As I always do :)
When you hiked here in spring or summer you will see the most beautiful orchids and flowers. Arriving on the top we were surprised to find this Gumpa. It was not abandoned but it had that feeling to it. Loved walking up there!
Totall digits of the hike : 3K hiking in about 3 hours. So a nice afternoon activity!

Samdruptse in Sikkim | Namchi | Wish fulfilling Hill | Day 6 - Part 1
Article:
Me and my wife on our trip from Bangalore to few places in the North East India, on our 6th day of trip planned to visit Samdruptse which is on the way from Namchi to Gangtok.
Samdruptse Hill; the 'wish fulfilling hill' is just 5 km away from Namchi, situated at an altitude of 2134 m (7000 ft). This epic hill is ornamented with a giant statue of the Guru Padmasambhava (Guru Rinpoche); the patron saint of Sikkim who has been showering its blessings since more than 1,200 years. It is a 45 m tall statue, overlooking the whole city, and is gilded with gold that glitters when the sunlight falls over it. The hill offers the vista of the magnificent Mt. Kangchenjunga amongst the richly forested hills under the blue painted sky. It is believed that the hill is a dormant volcano and only prayers can hold it from erupting, that is why the local monks offer their reverence and devotion to it. The repository within the premises of the statue, has a profound collection of historical photographs of sikkim also including the fading photos of Mahatma Gandhi, come as a delight for the history buffs. The statue is an incredible triumph of engineering, that took around seven years for its construction under the sponsorship of the Sikkim State Government. The foundation stone for the statue was laid by Dalai Lama in the year 1997.
