Chorten Nyima

Chorten Nyima is a sacred mountain region and monastery on the Himalayan approaches to Sikkim. Its name is shared by a range of snowy peaks and a place of pilgrimage centred on three stupas above the cliffs. Tibetan tradition associates the area with Padmasambhava and treasures hidden for discovery by later generations. A guide attributed to the treasure revealer Rigzin Gödem describes the region as a gateway into Sikkim, one of the hidden lands of Buddhist tradition.
