Enchey Monastery | Gangtok | India tourism
The Enchey Monastery was established in 1909 above Gangtok, the capital city of Sikkim in the Northeastern Indian state. It belongs to the Nyingma order of Vajrayana Buddhism. The monastery built around the then small hamlet of Gangtok became a religious centre. The location was blessed by Lama Drupthob Karpo, a renowned exponent of tantric (adept) art in Buddhism with flying powers; initially a small Gompa was established by him after he flew from Maenam Hill in South Sikkim to this site. The literal meaning of Enchey Monastery is the Solitary Monastery. Its sacredness is attributed to the belief that Khangchendzonga and Yabdean – the protecting deities – reside in this monastery. As, according to a legend, Guru Padmasambhava had subdued the spirits of the Khangchendzonga, Yabdean and Mahākāla here. In view of this legend, the religious significance of Enchey Monastery is deeply ingrained in every household in Gangtok. It is also believed that these powerful deities always fulfil the wishes of the devotees.

Mask dances being performed at Cham festival in Enchey Monastery, Gangtok
Dancers with bird masks perform Cham dance during Detor Cham festival in Enchey Monastery, Gangtok
The yearly festival of Enchey is celebrated on the the 18th to 19th day of the 12th month of the Tibetan calendar (January). The festival is marked by monk dance, Thamar Chaam, which though not as elaborate and grand as the one (Singhe Chham) performed every third year in the monastery, is nevertheless interesting. The monastery also celebrates the festival of Pang Lhabsol which marks the coming together of the Bhutias and the Lepchas.
In close proximity of Gangtok, stands the Enchey monastery (3 km away from the town centre) on a hill top. The site on which the monastery stands is believed to be blessed by the famous tantric master Druptob Karpo. It is said that this revered tantric, who had flying prowess, flew to this site from Maenam Hill in south Sikkim and built a small hermitage. Later, during the reign of Sikyong Tulku in the mid nineteenth century, the monastery was constructed in the shape of a Chinese Pagoda.
Enchey Monastery is an important seat of the Nyingmapa order of the Vajrayana school of Buddhism with around 90 monks. The building of the monastery is a small and simple two sotrey structure surrounded by tall pine trees. The highlight of the monastery are the murals depicting the protective deity and wheel of law on the porch. Also to be seen are the conch shells that are regarded propitious Buddhist symbols.
The three Gods revered in this monastery are Buddha, Loki Sharia and Guru Padmasambhava.
