Karma Dorje Chyoling monastery, Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Bhutia Busty, India.
The Karma Dorje Chyoling Monastery stands on elevated terrain, featuring traditional Tibetan architectural elements with ornate decorations and religious motifs throughout the structure.
Originally established on Observatory Hill, the monastery relocated to its current location in Bhutia Busty during 1879 and underwent reconstruction after an earthquake in 1934.
The monastery maintains a collection of ancient Buddhist manuscripts, including an original section of the Book of Dead, while supporting ongoing Buddhist education programs.
Visitors can reach the monastery by following the paths from central Darjeeling to Bhutia Busty, with the site remaining open for prayer sessions and cultural observations.
The monastery functions as a branch of Sikkim's Phodang Monastery, representing the Red Sect of Buddhist Lamas within the Kagyupa tradition in this region.
