This revered place is also considered to be wish fulfilling and within minutes of being there, calms your soul. This must visit place in Namchi should definitely be on your agenda.

Samdruptse Monastery which is about 7kms from Namchi town and up on Samdruptse hill. Before Char Dham, this used to be the main attraction of Namchi, it is still very popular among tourists though. Outside the entrance there is a large paid parking. A large building has been constructed for covered parking in the upper floor as well as hosting shops at the ground floor.
Samdruptse means 'Wish fulfilling Hill'. The locals believe that the hill is actually a dormant volcano. The Buddhists lamas have been regularly offering prayers so that the volcano does not erupt. It has stayed calm so far. Buddhist prayer flags flutter on one side of the pathway. Take off your shoes before you climb the flight of steps to reach the upper platform.

The entry to the monastery is from the backside. The foundation stone here was laid by Dalai Lama on 22nd October 1997. Subsequently when the work started, it took over 3 years with many renowned architects, engineers and over 1,000 laborers who worked hard together to set up the statue and the monastery.

Sikkim as a part of india is geographically located over the northeastern sides of country . So simply it is included under north eastern state of India . it shares its boundaries with tibet on the north and nepal in the west , west bengal in the south . Sikkim is  located close to India's Siliguri Corridor near Bangladesh. Sikkim can be considered as the least populous and second smallest among all the Indian states. A part of the Eastern Himalaya, Sikkim is renowned for its biodiversity, including alpine and subtropical climates, also being a host to Kangchenjunga, the highest peak in India and third highest on Earth.Sikkim's capital and largest city is Gangtok. Almost 35% of the state is covered by the Khangchendzonga National Park.
The Kingdom of Sikkim was founded by the Namgyal dynasty within the 17th century. it had been ruled by a Buddhist priest-king referred to as the Chogyal. It became a princely state of British India in 1890. After 1947, Sikkim continued its protectorate status with the Republic of India. It enjoyed the very best literacy rate and per capita income among Himalayan states. In 1973, anti-royalist riots happened ahead of the Chogyal's palace. In 1975, the monarchy was deposed by the people. A referendum in 1975 led to Sikkim joining India as its 22nd state.Modern Sikkim may be a multiethnic and multilingual Indian state. The official languages of the state are English, Nepali, Sikkimese and Lepcha.Additional official languages include Gurung, Limbu, Magar, Mukhia, Newari, Rai, Sherpa and Tamang for the aim of preservation of culture and tradition within the state.English is taught in schools and utilized in government documents. The predominant religions are Hinduism and Vajrayana Buddhism. Sikkim's economy is essentially hooked in to agriculture and tourism, and as of 2014 the state had the third-smallest GDP among Indian states, although it's also among the fastest-growing. Sikkim accounts for the most important share of cardamom production in India, and is that the world's second largest producer of the spice after Guatemala. Sikkim achieved its ambition to convert its agriculture to completely organic over the interval 2003 to 2016, the primary state in India to realize this distinction. it's also among India's most environmentally conscious states, having banned plastic water bottles "in any government functions and meetings" and polystyrene products (throughout the state)  .

HISTORY -                                         

At the time of independence ,sikkim was a protectorate of india , it meant that while it was not a part of india ,it was also not fully soveireign country . sikkim's defence and foreign relation were looked after by india , while the power of internal administration was with the chogyal , sikkim 's monarch .

 This administration ran into difficulty as the chogyal was unable to deal with the democratic aspiration of the people . an overwhelming majority of sikkim's population was nepali . but the chogyal was seen as prepetuating the rule of a small elite from the minority -lecha-bhutia community . the anti - chogyal leaders of both the communities sought and got support from the government of india .


 The first democratic election to sikkim assembly in 1974 , were swept by congress which stood for greater integration with india . the assembly first the ststus of assosiate state and then in april 1975 passed a resolution asking for full integration with india . this was followed by the hurriedly organised referendum that put a stamp of popular approval on the assembly's request . the indian parliament accepted this request immediately and sikkim became the 22 nd state of the union .

chogyal didnot accept this merger and his suporter accused the govt. of india of foul play and use of force . yet , the merger enjoyed popular support and didnot become a diverse issue in sikkim's politics .

hence , Sikkim is a unique blend of different religion, customs and traditions of different communities. In the ancient times, Sikkim was occupied by three tribes; Naong, Chang and the Mon. But with the course of time, the inhabitants of the nearby countries became a major inhabitant of the state. That includes the Lepchas; the clan of Nagas from Tibet, are one of the tribal groups, the Bhutias; the descendents of Buddhists from Tibet and the Nepalese; the descendents of the Hindus from Nepal, which now dominates the considerable portion of the Sikkim’s population. And hence, Nepali is the most common among all the languages in Sikkim. The Tibetan Bhutias, secured their deep rooted ties to the tradition and belief since the last three centuries they had been settled in Sikkim. Living together harmoniously, the Sikkimese Bhutias and Tibetans display the cultural, social and linguistic commonness in between.
