Tathagata Tsal
A complex with a 39-meter bronze statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, completed in 2013. The statue sits against the Kanchenjunga range, and its scale is impressive.
Tathagata Tsal, also known as the Buddha Park, is located in Ravangla, South Sikkim. It was built to commemorate the 2550th anniversary of the Buddha's birth. At its center is a seated, gilded bronze statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, about 39 meters tall. Inside the base is a museum that tells the story of the Buddha's life. The park is well laid out, with prayer paths, lakes and ponds, and gardens. On clear days, the Kanchenjunga range can be seen behind the statue. Entry costs about 50 rupees. It's about 3 hours by hired car from Gangtok and can be visited on the same day as Temi Tea Garden.
