Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Everest and Kangchendz\u00f6nga.<\/p>\n<p>We will first travel through the lowlands, then we will cross a dense forest area and the Tista River, whose source lies in the border area with Tibet in northern Sikkim. Our travels will offer a varied ride past terraced rice fields and lush green subtropical forests.

At Kabi we will stop at the historically important village of Lungchok. The monoliths placed here by the indigenous people mark the brotherhood covenant that the Lepchas made with the Bhutias who immigrated from Tibet in the 15th century. Every year, this sacred place serves the Lepchas as a venue for shamanistic rituals in honor of medicinal herbs. The journey then continues past the impressive &#8220;Seven Sisters&#8221; waterfall. The north of Sikkim is the least populated region and the culture of the Bhutias and Lepchas is still very authentic here.

His Holiness, the 16th Karmapa, head of the Kagyu order of Tibetan Buddhism, lived here from 1959 to 1981. After fleeing to Sikkim due to the Chinese invasion of Tibet, he received asylum, land and support from the King of Sikkim to build the new monastery in Rumtek. His home monastery in Tsurphu in Tibet served as a model. During the 16th Karmapa&#8217;s lifetime, the monastery was an important pilgrimage site for Tibetan Buddhists. The 16th Karmapa is one of the most important reincarnations in the Tibetan Buddhist world and the head of the Karma Kagyu school.

The Dalai Lama is the head of the Gelugpa (Yellow Caps) school.<\/p>\n<p>We will follow a road lined with prayer flags, you arrive at the original old monastery of Rumtek, built in 1734.
