 Baba
Mandir : Further 10kms from Tsongo Lake on the
way to Nathu-la - Jelepla pass lays the legendary
Baba Mandir at an altitude of over 13,000 feet. It
was built in memory of a soldier in the 23rd Punjab
Regiment, who drowned in a stream near the spot.
Legend says he later appeared in a dream to one of
his colleagues where he requested that a temple be
built in his memory.
Though long dead, people believe that the solider
stands guard over them. It is said that his crisply
ironed uniforms are mysteriously wrinkled at the end
of the day. The most interesting part is that the
Govt. has approved this legend and Harvajan Singh
enjoys salary increment, promotion and even
holydays. His salary is sent home to Punjab and once
a year, he goes on leave to his home. A soldier of
the regiment accompanies his uniform in the train to
his hometown. People believe that by placing their
slippers and a bottle of water here, they are cured
of backaches. |

 Shri
Kiriteshwar Temple, Legship : Situated at
Legship (16kms from Gyalshing on the
Gangtok-Gyalshing highway). On the banks of the
River Rangit, this Hindu temple is dedicated to God
Shiva. It is said that many years ago a rock in the
shape of a Shiv Linga miraculously appeared at the
base of a tree. The temple has been constructed at
this very spot. The temple complex also houses a
Dharamsala (living accommodation for worshippers)
and a community kitchen.The temple is fast
developing into a favorite stop over point for
tourists going to Pelling and Yoksum. |
