Loved it!
Beautiful and serene atmosphere. The painings on the monastery walls are beautiful (refer photos). You have to climb about 50 steps to reach the monastery from the road but it is well worth it.

Dubdi Monastery
The Monastery is on a small hillet. The Monastery is a bit big with everyday prayers going on. You can feel the divine serenity here.

Gorgeous setting and monastery
What a beautiful old (1701) monastery! A bit of a climb up the usual rocky path to a gorgeous setting. The monastery is open to the public, and very well maintained. Well worth the climb!

Oldest monastry in Sikkim
It was an adventurous trekking to the monastry. The road towards the monastry is very bad with practically no proper road. Our car took us a little closer to the monastry from where we had to climb 33..
