Cycling at Phensang Monastery! Kids trying their level best to maintain the balance.

This monastery in North Sikkim was built in 1721. In 1947 it was completely gutted by fire and was rebuilt in 1948. There are around 300 monks in the monastery and the main annual function of the monastery is on the 28th & 29th days of the tenth month of the Tibetan calendar which roughly falls in the month of December/ January.

The building of Labrang has an unusual shape of an octagon.

Built towards the end of nineteenth century, this monastery belongs to the Nyingmapa sect.

Labrang was so tranquil that we spent quite a time there observing the Monastery and the surroundings.

On the slopes of Labrang, a watch tower that provides beautiful view of the valley.

Labrang is very much off the road away from any noise. View of prayer flags outside the Monastery.
