    (Translated by Google) Kalimpong tour: Jang dhok palri fodang in the picture Zang Dhok Palri Phodang Buddhist Monastery. The famous Buddhist temple called Zhang Rik Palri Fodang, one of the centers of Buddhism in the city of Kalimpong, is one of the sights. Kalimpong is located 50 km east of Darjeeling. It will take about three hours to reach Kalimpong by jeep from New Jalpaiguri-NJP.

    Location: 4kms from Kalimpong market area. Walking takes about 1hr, last part is very steep climb though on metalled road. Ambience: Very quiet area, lovely views. Monastery is beautiful, colourful thangkas hanging on the walls of the Prayer Hall. Large idol of Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche. Very good for quiet meditation. Highly recommended!

    The monastery is closed since March 2020 due to covid restrictions. You can still watch it from outside. It has parking space for 5/6 cars and the view is nice. There is a small canteen near the parking area which sells tea and snacks

    Nice monastery but couldn't go inside as presently it is closed due to Covid situation. So no details are available. This is located inside the military area and there is a helipad just beside this road whose entry is restricted for civilians. Make sure to catch a glimpse of the helipad if you come to visit the monastery.

    The monastery has a breathtaking view. when i visited in january 2013 the lama of monastery had passed way and monastery inner sanctum was closed due to his last rites. witnessed the preparation of his last rites and it was phenomenal. The grandeur of the event was amazing . People from all walks of life came to have his last view. the upkeep of monastery is amazing and beautifully managed. There is a ground adjacent to the monastery where we witnessed a football match. A must visit place if you are visiting kalimpong.

  • 5/5 Hrishav D. 4 years ago on Google
    This monastery is so beautiful and the place is so quiet. If you visit Kalimpong , do visit here. The monks will explain everything to you about Buddhism and all the mural paintings on the wall. But don't take pictures of the place as they have requested not to do that.

    Peaceful and happy place. You can ask monks about the monestry and they will tell you everything. Photography is not allowed in the monestry but you can take photos around and outside of it. The view from the monestry is amazing and I love the way it has been kept. Good place to have a photography session too 😁.
