Only 3 kms away from Kalimpong main market, a Buddhist marvel is located named as the ThongshaGompa. This monastery was built during the period of Bhutan kingdom in the year 1692. The edifice of Gompa reveals the entire style prevalent during the period of Bhutanese. The Gompa is constructed with a marvelous and alluring architectural style little bit varying from typical Gompa style. The most interesting part of this monastery is that even tourists could take active participation in the prayers held here irrespective your caste and creed. The words really seem very less to describe the charm of interiors and exteriors of the monastery.
