About Yuksam Tourism

Yuksam often known as the gateway to Ney-Pemathang or mystical Shangri-La is situated just 35 km. from Pelling in the Western district of Sikkim. Nestled at the base of Mt. Kanchendzonga amidst oak, birch and rhododendron forests, it shares its borders with Kanchendzonga National Park which is the largest sanctuary in Sikkim. Steeped in rich historical and cultural diversity, Yuksam also means the meeting place of three lamas.

According to legends, three lamas came from different places and consecrated the Chogyala King in 1600s here.


Sightseeing Highlights

 

Apart from the scenic beauty, Yuksam has a lot to offer. The rich historic and cultural heritage is reflected in the beautiful Dubdi monastery which is about an hour's walk from Yuksam amidst verdant forest. As one of the oldest monastery in Sikkim, it is also known as Hermit's Cell as the founder Lhatsun Namkha Jigme, who was a very reclusive monk.
