Tholung Valley Nature Trek
Trekking
To The Little Visited Tholung Monastery
in North Sikkim
|
Tolung
valley in North Sikkim is the home of
the ethnic Lepcha people of Sikkim and
is now a protected area. The lepchas live
in small villages amongst the dense forested
slopes high above the Tholung valley.
The Tholung monastery houses many relics
and antiques collected from other monasteries
for safe keeping. Many of these relics
are displayed on a special day every three
years. The trek up this beautifully forested
valley leads to the higher alpine valleys
where yaks graze below the snow capped
mountains of the Kanchanjunga range.
