Ravangla, Mountain town in Namchi district, India.

The settlement stretches across terraced slopes at an elevation of 2,100 meters, surrounded by forests and agricultural fields in the Sikkim region.

The establishment of Buddhist monasteries, including Ralong Gumpa, marked the development of Ravangla as a significant religious center in Sikkim's history.

Local residents maintain traditions through festivals such as Losar, where Lepcha, Bhutia, and Nepali communities gather to celebrate their heritage.

Visitors can reach Ravangla via road connections from Gangtok at 78 kilometers distance, with regular transportation services operating throughout the year.

The Tathagata Tsal features a 130-foot Buddha statue set against the backdrop of snow-covered peaks of the Himalayas.
