The holy caves of Sikkim– feel the spiritual heart of the former himalayan kingdom of Sikkim in India vividly
SIKKIM, India
The Holy Caves of Sikkim – Discover the Spiritual Heart of the Himalaya
Step into the silent sanctuaries of the Himalaya—where every cave holds a story, every path awakens the soul, and every moment becomes a journey within.
Sikkim is the former buddhist kingdom in the Himalayas- it shows us the secrets of the Buddhist culture, opens our hearts and gives us a new perspective & inspiration. We believe that a visit to Sikkim’s mystical places of power can help us reconnect with our heart.
Chapter 1
Sikkim is a paradise
Sikkim is a paradise for people who are attracted to magnificent mountain ranges, different cultures and natural ways of living.
Here people searching for spiritual guidance can obtain inspiration – there are not many places where one can find so many holy mountains, lakes, rivers, caves, temples & monasteries – along with the magnificent landscapes.
On our journey to the Sikkim’s holy caves, we will enjoy the breathtaking views looking up to Sikkim’s diety of protection, the third highest mountain on earth which stands: Mount Khangchendzonga.
To understand the value of these holy natural places, we will introduce you to the man who blessed this location with his presence.
Chapter 2
Guru Padmasambhava
A life without a noticeable and omnipresent spirituality is not thinkable in the former kingdom of Sikkim. Smudging and the burning of incense are indispensable part of daily prayer and meditation. The rising smoke of incense plants is considered holy and is said to help protect and cleanse the home and its surroundings People have been studying the effects of these scents for centuries and are used not only in private homes but also in many monasteries during daily meditation to ensure a better connection to spirit and the way up to higher truths.
Enough of the history and let’s get back to our journey: It is an empowering and inspiring adventure to visit the five holy caves in Sikkim with Terralaya Travels. We trust in the “healing and cleansing power” that the visit of these caves may have and we leave our western skepticism at home.
Chapter 3
These caves are located in all four directions from Tashiding, the spiritual heart of Sikkim.
On this journey we focus on our inner self – the environment and «energy» of this land may help us let go of stress and the hustle of modern life. We look forward to feeling in harmony with ourselves and nature – and will surely experience unforgettable moments in this amazing land with ist special people.
We will visit:
- Sharchhogbayphung – the secret cave
- Khando Sangphuk– The cave of fairies
- Dechenphu oder Dechenthang– The cave of luck and happiness
-
Lharinyingphug– the old cave of the god of hills. The holiest of all the caves are truly hard to reach. A good endurance but as well a strong will is required, to walk up the steep path that gets us to the cave Lharinyingphug
- Tsechephug – The central cave of Tashiding
The reason why natives undertake the strenuous pilgrimage treks is due to the cleansing and healing benefits that are said to derive from a visit.
Chapter 4
Teron Rinchen Lingpa Cave
In this cave Teron Rinchen Lingpa found the hidden treasures of Guru Padmasambhava and decoded them for the rest of the world: Many of the visitors believe that a visit to these caves can help fulfill their wishes for a long life, wealth and prosperity and that they will be blessed with many children.
