RINCHENPONG TOUR – Reach out to Mother Nature in West Sikkim


Sikkim is the other name of serenity, but to get it at its best you need to pick the best spots. The entire kingdom of the Chogyals is blessed immensely by Mother Nature and hence every corner of Sikkim is best. But if serenity is what your soul is crying for, then the Western part of the state should be your aim specially among them, Rinchenpong is really amazing. How about spending a few days at a small town nestled on the hill slopes with the snow-capped peaks of Kanchenjunga standing on the other side? How about taking gentle strolls through forested areas and hill slopes keeping the huge peaks as witnesses? No market, no shop, no crowds, and noise, just you with your beloved one and the magnanimous peaks watching you from the top.. how about that? If this is exactly what you are looking for in Sikkim Tour from NJP, then set out for Rinchenpong Tour

Situated quite close to Pelling, the top tourist attraction in the Western part of Sikkim, Rinchenpong is a small town standing at an altitude of over 5576 feet. Rinchenpong is just 10 kilometers from Ghyalsing and very close to Kaluk, a beautiful village on the hill slopes. Rinchenpong is a perfect place for a calm holiday. You can simply stare at the peaks and the picturesque valleys lying underneath or get out of your hotel for short walks in the locality. The small town offers such a clear view of the ranges that you can easily spot the other peaks, apart from Kanchenjunga, like Pandim, Kumbhakarna, Kabru, and Rathong. Rinchenpong does not offer a lot in terms of tourist attractions but yet spots like the Bike-Pokhri, Rinchenpong Monastery, Ati Buddha and Rabindra Smriti Van would give you charming moments.

At Rinchenpong, Mother Nature would be your only companion. Your day will start with the sound of birds tweeting from the forested areas on the slopes.

The name Tsomgo is made of two words in Bhutia Language 'Tso' means 'lake' and 'Mgo' means 'head' in a short 'source of the lake'. This high altitude lake is surrounded by snow-capped steep mountains and remains frozen during wintertime. As summer beings to step-in, the glacier melts and the lake gets its origin. The locals consider the lake to be sacred, and it reflects different colors with the change in seasons.

Baba Harbhajan served as a part of border patrol force, and in the year 1968 while escorting a mule column he felts on a fast-flowing stream and got carried away by the powerful water current. Soldiers found his remains after 3 days and cremated with full military honor along with a shrine on his Samadhi built as per Baba’s wish, which he expressed through his friend post-death. The original bunker of Baba Harbhajan Singh is located further up near the Gnathang valley which is the Old Baba Mandir but because of its difficult terrain tourist can’t reach there so they build a New Mandir for easy access. This shrine believed to have wish-fulfilling powers along with that Baba is still guarding the international border between India and China. On Sundays, a 'Langar' runs at the temple, which provides free meals to the visitors.
