From Disneyland we made it back to town for lunch – with Gobi Manchurian being a popular dish today (and yummy it was).

Our program continued in the afternoon with a trip to the bird park. But instead of visiting our avian friends, we took the other trail leading into the forest – to eventually get to the palace ruins of Rabdentse – Rabdentse used to be the capital of the Kingdom of Sikkim from 1670 until 1814. Views from here were once more amazing – with Kangchenjunga once more clearly visible.

Well – the day was not over yet … another monastery was waiting for us – Pemayangtse Monastery, established in 1705 and overlooking the ruins of Rabdentse. During a tour we were shown around the monastery – before making it back to town and the hotel again.
