Ghum Monastery: See the 15ft Maitreya Buddha and Catch Sunsets
★4.7(211)
Skip the main Darjeeling loop and hit this spot by taxi early to beat the fog. The 15-foot statue of Maitreya Buddha inside the prayer hall dominates the space, and the smell of ancient incense is intense. Stick to the upper terrace for views across the valley floor. Spend 45 minutes here, then grab a hot thukpa at a stall nearby. It gets freezing, so ditch the sandals for boots.
Address: Ghoom Monastery Road, Darjeeling, West Bengal, 734102
