Ravangla

Ravangla is a semi town that lies between Pelling and Gangtok. It is an elevation of 7000 ft and experiences snowfall during winter.



This picturesque place is a must visit for who tour Sikkim. When we reached this place in the late afternoon it was very cold and covered in mist.



The places of interest here are:

How to Reach: It is at a distance of 65 km away from the state capital Gangtok. From this place we drove a distance of 49 kms from Pelling.

I LOVE the first image. So beautiful. It looks like the boys are enjoying the tour too.

I don't think of India as a place that gets snow, yet up in the altitude, it would. This looks like a nice place to explore.

It does snow in India in the North Eastern part close to the Himalayas. It is a pleasant site.

Isn't it funny how you get an image of a place in your mind and then when you read 'it gets snow' it is hard to imagine because I think of India as being hot and dry. Beautiful photos - the mist added to the atmosphere.

Looks like it warmed up in the afternoon though, based on the way your boys are dressed (and oh my goodness they are growing up!) Very impressive statue there.

The mosaic made me take a second look at the first picture of the Buddha. It wasn't until I saw the boys in the foreground that I realized its size. Gigantic!

Visiting the Buddha park in the mist must have been quite special, thank you for sharing your time there with us on Mosaic Monday this week.
