Ravangla is a small township in south Sikkim nestled at the base of Mainam mountain at 6700 Ft. This small place is very lively with plenty of hotels and colorful shops. The view of Pandim, Narsingh and Sinolchu peaks are breathtaking.
We trekked 12 Km for four hours to reach Mainam Peak. The view of Kanchenjangha and other peaks are even better from here. There is a monastery also in the Mainam peak. One can trek to Bhaledunga mountain only half Km from here and will take half hour.
Next day we hired a car to see the beautifully decorated Ralong monastery, Temi tea garden, Tibetian handicrafts center etc on the way to Namchi, our next destination. These palces are within 20 km from Ravangala.
