Kabi Lungchok is 17 kms from Gangtok on the North Sikkim Highway. This is where the historic treaty of blood brotherhood between the Lepcha Chief Te-Kung-Tek and the Bhutia Chief Khey-Bum-Sa was signed ritually.

The spot where the ceremony took place is marked by a memorial stone pillar amidst the cover of dense forest.
