ZONG DOG PALRI FO-BRANG MONASTERY
Tibetan Buddhist monastery dating from the 1970s, housing a mandala and the Kangyur that the Dalai Lama took with him from Tibet.
This Tibetan Buddhist monastery dates from the 1970s. It is built on one of the highest points of Kalimpong, Durpin Hill, from which it gets its nickname Durpin Monastery. Its interior walls are painted with beautiful frescoes and it houses a three-dimensional mandala and the Kangyur (the 108 volumes of Buddhist scriptures) that the Dalai Lama brought from Tibet in 1959. From the top, the panorama offered by clear weather is quite simply superb.
