Trekking through the forest
It is a nice trek to visit the Doling Gompa. About 4 kms. from Ravangla on NH-510 there is a hotel named 'Cloud's end' beside which a stepped pathway leads through the forest towards Doling Gompa. The light n shade pathway is easy to pave amidst a calm and cool atmosphere with the shrills of wind through the leaves. The steps are quite uniformly negotiated with the gradient so that it won't pain our legs. Walking through the path shall encourage people to keep silence and listen to the nature. But care should be taken for leeches precisely during monsoon.

Beware of Leeches during the Monsoons
Dorling Monastery is a small monastery down the Barfung road. Cars are available from the market at 150INR which would take you down to it. Beside the monastery a small lake is there which goes by the local name of Seven Sisters Lake (this should not be misinterpreted with the Seven sisters waterfall).Â

A must-see hidden gem through a forest trek
We approached this place through the stairs beside Hotel Clouds Inn on Legship-Ravangla Road. There are other approaches as well. Be careful about taking this approach as there are more than 500 stairs cut in to the slope of the hill through a dense forest. For adventure lovers, this route is suggested. Do not try with kids, elders or people with knee problems. The downhill is relatively easy though some place the stairs are slippery and height of stairs are bit on the higher side. Carry plenty of water and very less weight in terms of bags / backpacks etc. The uphill will try your stamina. Be careful of leeches, other insects. There might be snakes as well. At the end of the stairs, you'll find the gompa. It is situated in a clearing with hills rising high behind. There is a small lake. The entire area is surrounded with prayer flags. Don't expect to see any human soul, a stray dog might be your only companion. Nevertheless, maintain the sanctity of the place. The view once you reach the gompa is amazing. The first thing you realize is peace, tranquility and humility. A moment of silence will enable you to hear chirping of birds in the surrounding forest. We loved it.....good place for photography
