Tukala and Baba-Mandir


From Tshangu Lake it will take around 1 hr to reach Baba-Mandir. Actually this is a temple surrounded by hills and it falls beside the main road. The name of the temple ‘BabaMandir’ was given in the name of an Indian army who died few years back. After his death the temple was formed. U may also get snow near to BabaMandir temple.


From Baba-Mandir, the road goes to Nathula and Tukala. there is a place which is quite unknown to most of the tourists in Sikkim. The name of the place is Tukala and it is 10 km away from Nathula. But the place Tukala is one of the best places of Sikkim and it is a must see place. The view of Kanchanjangha from that place is awesome. U’ll get the wide glamorous view of Kanchenjangha and infront of the peak u'll see the whole space is covered by cloud. Believe me u’ll feel that u r seeing Heaven infront of u and to see that view of Kanchenjangha will be a lifetime achievement. On one side of the road u’ll find snow in the slope of the mountain and u can play with snow at Tukala.


The Tshangu tour which is conducted from Gangtok includes Tshangu Lake, Baba-Mandir, Nathula, Tukala. This four places are covered in one day.
