Overview

About Ravangla

Ravangla sits on a ridge between Namchi and Pelling, with an open view of the Kanchenjunga range from almost anywhere in town. It is small, cool and unhurried.

The main draw is Tathagata Tsal - Buddha Park - built around a tall seated Buddha with landscaped grounds and a monastery museum below it.
