Sed Gyued Monastery

A significant Tibetan Buddhist monastery and meditation centre in Siliguri with a history tied to the Sino-Indian War of 1962, when it was attacked and nearly destroyed by Chinese forces before being rebuilt.

Sed Gyued Monastery is one of the important Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in Siliguri and serves as an active meditation and learning centre. The monastery carries a significant historical memory - it was attacked and nearly destroyed by Chinese forces during the Sino-Indian War of 1962. It has since been rebuilt and restored, and today stands as a functioning monastic institution.

The monastery follows the Gelug tradition of Tibetan Buddhism and is used for regular prayer sessions, teachings, and meditation retreats. The peaceful grounds and traditional Tibetan architecture make it a quieter alternative to the more visited Salugara Monastery. Located within Siliguri town, it is easily accessible.
