Kabi Lungchok, Historical memorial site in Mangan district, India

Stone pillars and statues mark the treaty location at Kabi Lungchok, situated 17 kilometers north of Gangtok along the North Sikkim Highway.

During the 15th century, Lepcha chief Thekong Tek and Bhutia leader Khye Bumsa established a blood brotherhood treaty at this location in Sikkim.

The annual ritual prayers at Kabi Lungchok commemorate the historical agreement between Lepcha and Bhutia communities that shaped Sikkim's social structure.

Visitors can reach the memorial site by taking the North Sikkim Highway from Gangtok, with the Phensang Monastery located on the connecting slope.

The name Kabi Lungchok translates to stone erected by blood, referencing the ceremonial signing between two distinct ethnic groups of Sikkim.
