Rebuilt in the year 1948 with the guidance of the Lamas, the Phensang Monastery is located 9 kilometres North of Gangtok. Quite charming in itself, this monastery is located on a gentle slope which lies between Kabi and Phodong. Astonishing features of this monastery is that it was primarily established in the year 1721 during the rule of Jigme Pawo. Currently host to about 300 monks, an annual festival is held on the tenth month of the Tibetan calendar which sees a whole lot of art forms being carried out.
