Baba Harbhajan Mandir

Baba Harbhajan Mandir

High-altitude army shrine on the Nathula road, visited with Tsomgo Lake on East Sikkim day trips from Gangtok.

Baba Harbhajan Mandir sits on the road toward Nathula, above Tsomgo Lake, and is part of most East Sikkim day circuits from Gangtok. The shrine honors Captain Harbhajan Singh of the Indian Army, and soldiers and travelers stop here for a short prayer before continuing to the pass. The setting is stark and high, with prayer flags and a simple temple complex against the ridge. Permits arranged for the Nathula or Tsomgo route usually cover this stop; bring warm layers even in good weather.
