Gurdwara Nanaklama, Sikh temple in Chungthang, India.

The Gurdwara Nanaklama stands at the meeting point of Rivers Lachen and Lachung Chu, tributaries of River Teesta, in North Sikkim.

The Assam Rifles constructed this religious structure in 1969 with support from local representative Tasa Tangey Lepcha and Subedar Major Bhullar.

The temple commemorates Guru Nanak's third Udasi journey through the region, where he provided guidance to the Karma pa Nying ma pa religious group.

Located 95 kilometers from Gangtok at 1,700 meters elevation, the temple maintains regular prayer services and operates a community kitchen for visitors.

A tree grows at the site where Guru Nanak reportedly planted his walking stick, and nearby rocks display footprints attributed to his presence.
