The Darjeeling Monastery Walk

The Darjeeling Monastery Walk

Darjeeling has always been under Buddhist influence but the significant change occurred in 1632 when Darjeeling came under the Royal Sikkim Kingdom. Buddhism is often looked up as only Lord Buddha or the Dalai Lama, but Buddhism as has always been prevailing long before. This walk is designed to get a deeper understanding of Buddhism and its evolution in Darjeeling. We walk across significant Monasteries of Darjeeling from different sect to understand the cultural differences in Gods, Painting and Architectures across the region.
