Address:
Kabi, Sikkim 737117, India

Kabi Lungchok is a historic site of significance, which is located 17 kilometres north of Gangtok on the Northern Highway in northeastern Indian state of Sikkim. The historicity of the site is attributed to the fact that the Lepchas, the ethnic tribals of Sikkim and Bhutias , the immigrants from southern Bhot who settled down in Sikkim from the 14th century onwards, ceremonially signed a Treaty of Blood Brotherhood with religious fervour. Stone pillars mark the location where the treaty was signed. The Treaty was signed at Kabi Lungchok by the Bhot King, Khye Bumsa representing the Bhutias and the Lepcha Chief Thekong Tek. The literal meaning of 'Kabi Lungchok', pronounced ‘Kayu sha bhi Lungchok’, is stone erected by our blood. Life-size statues of the Lepcha and Bhutia 'blood-brothers' who signed the treaty has been erected here.
