It can be approached by following a footpath which branches off from the main road just below the Pemayangtse Monastery. The scenic view from the top of the ruins scanning across deep valley to the mystic heighths of Kangchendzonga ranges is something to be cherished and etched in memory.

The evidence of the consecration ceremony is still intact at Norbugang Chorten in the form of stone seats and a foot-print of the Head-Lama on a stone. Since the history of the state began from this place, these areas are now considered sacred by the people of Sikkim.

For those interested in spending a night or two in the peaceful environment a trekkers hut has been provided by the Tourism Department.

Dubdi Monastery - This was the first Monastery established soon after the consecration ceremony of the first Chogyal. The Monastery is located on a hill top above Yuksam surrounded by verdant forest. It can be approached by Trekking only, negotiating steep slope for something like 32 to 35 minutes. It is an ideal place for Lamas seeking meditational recluse.

Tashiding Monastery - This monastery is constructed on top of a heart-shaped hill with the back-drop of the sacred Mt. Khangchendzonga. According to buddhist scriptures, Guru Padma Sambhava (Guru Rimpoche) blessed the sacred land of Sikkim in 8th Centuary AD from this spot.

Tashiding is also famous for the most holy chorten known as "Thong-Warang-To" which literally means "saviour by mere sight".

Another important feature of Tashiding is the sacred water festival popularly known as "Bhumchu".
