    Salugara Monastery is a Buddhist shrine situated about 6 kms from Siliguri in the State of West Bengal, India. The renowned monastery holds a massive 110 feet tall Stupa which was constructed by Tibetan Lama- Kalu Rinpoche. It is also known as the Tashi Homang Stupa. This shrine houses around five Buddhist relics and is a place of meditation and prayer. The tranquillity of the monastery which has an Indo-Tibetan style of architecture and its scenic surroundings make it an ideal spot for soul seekers and tourists.

    While the monastery looks nice from outside it is closed from March 2020 due to covid lockdowns. I had visited in Nov 2021 and it is still closed. It might be good to avoid the place till it reopens as it's little away from other tourist places and there isn't much to see here as it's closed. The same is the case with most monasteries in Darjeeling and Kalimpong too. Only the Japanese temple in Darjeeling has reopened.

    Close to the city on the road from Siliguri to Darjeeling. Right on the road ( No parking space available😳). When we went renovation and maintenance was going on. About half an hour should suffice at this place. Definitely is beautiful, peaceful and soothing.

    Salugara Monastery is a beautiful and peaceful Buddhist Monastery located on the main road. It is well maintained and quiet place. Better to not keep high expectations as it is a small place. Not too much to explore. The place is easy to find and enough place to park your vehicle.

    Excellent place to have a quick visit as there is not much to explore but finding eternal peace. The tall stupa is a peace of beauty and the monastery carries buddhist tradition in its best possible form. Its easily locatable just side by the main road towards Bengal Safari/Coronation Bridge and a must visit.

    The place is located in salugara and can be seen easily from the main road. It was built brilliantly.Perfect place to find some solace. Best place to meditate . Though there are 2 to 3 monasteries located nearby so that one can get easily confused by the fact. The google map which shows the actual location of salugara monastery is a bit confusing n nt realistic rather one has to go a little bit f walk from the location

    A nice place to be in West Bengal. It gives a sense of feeling relaxed. Even though it's located just beside the roads, it's still peaceful inside. Check out the timing before arriving there. Overall, it's a nice and beautiful monastery.

    Very calm and soothing place. I went there in an unknown but reached there to some known as you are out of this siliguri. Felt Tibet to the biggest extent. Met students who were studying.

    Salugara Monastery is a Buddhist shrine on the outskirts of Siliguri in the State of West Bengal, India. The Monastery is located 6 km from the city.[1] It was founded by Tibetan monks and followers of the Dalai Lama. The 100 ft stupa on the monastery is believed to have been built by the Tibetan Lama, Kalu Rinpoche. This stupa is revered by the monks as it brings out five kinds of relics of Buddhism. Also known as the Great International Tashi Gomang Stupa, it is visited by tourists from across the globe, and is an incredible sight to behold. Salugara Monastery was established by the followers of the Dalai Lama.

    (Translated by Google) The place where the rites of worship take place, they do not value the place, keep it, preserve them and contribute to it and the rites of all the people who are around it are very brilliant, the culture of all of us. 4 (Original) जहाँ पर भागती पुजा अर्चना होता हैं, वह जगह की अहमियत नहीं रखता हैं, रखता हैं, उनका संरक्षण और उस मे जो योगदान दिए और जो भी आसपास की जनता हैं, उनका संस्कार बता रहा बहुत ही शानदार हैं, हम सब की संस्कृति,?????

    I did not find the surrounding ambience suited to a monastery. It is however easily accessible from the main road. Draws in significant number of devotees on a daily basis. If you are looking to get away from the bustling chaos of Siliguri city even for a while, do visit.
