Siddheshwar Dham

Situated atop the Solophuk hill, 5km southwest of Namchi, this temple complex comprises replicas of the highly revered Hindu pilgrimage sites namely Rameshwarm, Dwarka, Rameshwaram and Jagannath Puri. A towering 87 ft Shiva statue, a 6.5 long sculpture of Lord Kirateshwar and the replicas of the twelve Jyotirlingas can also be found here. Whether you find it moving or kitschy, the views and photo opportunities are spectacular. Built by the government of Sikkim to promote Sikkim as an all-embracing and empathetic state in India and overseas, it looks more like a theme park is constructed in an area of 28.958 hectare of land. Although the kind of air that fills the atmosphere of the four holy regions is missing from Namchi’s Char Dham, it is still a popular tourist destination visited by the tourists from both India and overseas. This place is always abuzz with religious discourses, cultural activities seminars, etc. You may be required to walk a fair distance without footwear.
