Banjhakri Falls
Banjhakri Falls & Energy Park
A waterfall park themed on Sikkimese shamanic folklore, with a roughly 40-meter cascade, shaman sculptures, footbridges and walking trails.
Banjhakri Falls lies about 7 km northwest of the city center. The waterfall drops roughly 40 meters and is surrounded by a landscaped park. 'Ban Jhakri' is the forest shaman of Sikkim's indigenous beliefs. The park features sculpture groups of shamans and ritual scenes, traditional-style huts, ponds and footbridges, making it a good place for families to stroll and take photos. Admission costs about 50–100 rupees. It is usually combined with Tashi View Point, Lingdum Monastery and other stops on a one-day hired-car tour.
