Tharpa Choling Monastery, founded in the year 1912 by Domo Geshe Rinpoche, is counted amongst the oldest Gelugpa monasteries in the country. Perched on a hilltop in Kalimpong, this beautiful gompa with its colourful idols of the presiding deity creates a perfect peaceful ambience. You can see magnificent Himalayas from topmost floor of the monastery. Later, several changes and additions have made to the monastery. It has now become an unmissable tourist spot of Kalimpong.
