Ravangla
40 km from Pelling, ~2 hrs. drive
Just two hours from SpringHill, Ravangla welcomes travelers with an atmosphere of peace that lingers in every breeze. At its heart stands the Buddha Park, where a majestic 130-foot statue of Lord Buddha gazes across the valleys, framed by the grandeur of the snow-clad Himalayas. The park itself is not only a spiritual center but also a place of quiet beauty, with landscaped gardens, walking paths, and prayer flags fluttering against the mountain winds. The nearby Ralang Monastery, one of the most significant monasteries in Sikkim, invites visitors into the rhythm of chanting monks, butter lamps, and the soft fragrance of incense. Tea gardens spread across rolling hills, where one can stroll among emerald leaves and watch the farmers at work, add a touch of earthy simplicity to the journey.
For SpringHill guests, Ravangla offers a chance to step into a balance of spirituality and nature. The cool air makes walks refreshing, and every corner of the town seems to open up a new perspective of the mountains. Spending a day here allows travelers to slow down—whether it’s sitting on a bench and letting the silence of the Buddha Park wash over you, or watching the shifting clouds from a monastery courtyard. By the time you return to SpringHill in the evening, the mind feels lighter, the heart calmer, and the mountains outside your window more alive than ever.
