Do Drul Chorten is one of Gangtok’s most iconic stupas—peaceful, white-and-gold, and surrounded by prayer wheels that visitors can spin while walking around the stupa. The place feels serene and meditative, with an atmosphere that encourages slow steps, quiet reflection, and spiritual calm. It’s especially beautiful in the early morning when the light is soft and the surroundings feel quiet and sacred.
