Bhutia Busty Gompa Darjeeling

This temple originally stood on Observatory Hill, but was rebuilt in its present location in the 19th century. It houses fine murals depicting the life of Buddha, and Khangchendzonga provides a spectacular northern backdrop. Prayers are held at 3pm; the temple is often locked at other times. The monastery is about a 1.2km walk down from Chowrasta: start down CR Das Rd, fork right 200m after the Central Nirvana Resort, and keep asking directions.
