  • Richenpong is a well-known tourist spot in West Sikkim, because of the view of the mountain ranges seen from here. It is also a place famous for 2 of the oldest monasteries in Sikkim, Reesum Monastery and Rinchenpong Monastery. Both were built around 17th to 18th century. Rinchenpong Monastery is the 3rd oldest monastery in Sikkim, starting with around 98 lamas.[2] The monastery houses a rare Ati Buddha (Adi-Buddha) statue in the Yab-Yum position. Ati Buddha, also termed as The Primordial Buddha is said to be the true Buddha, symbolically represented as a naked Buddha in blue. In the Yab-Yum position, the Buddha is shown meditating while embracing a woman. In Buddhism it signifies the power of union of the male and female.[3]
    It is even said that the 1913 Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore once visited this place and wrote a poem for his book Gitanjali, titled Chitto Jetha Bhayshunyo, later translated to English by him titled Where The Mind Is Without Fear. There is a viewpoint above Rinchen Chholing Monastery, named Rabindra Smriti Van honoured in the name of him. This viewpoint is filled with Rhododendron and some other seasonal flowers.
    The tourism scene is active here since 2005 to 2006. The two of the oldest hotels here are Hotel Norlha and Hotel Rinchenpong Nest. It is a silent scenic place for everyone to quit from there busy life and stay for a couple of days for the refreshment. One can see the majestic view of Mount Kangchenjunga, Kabru, Mount Pandim and Kumbhakarna Mountain from here.
