Durpin Monastery (also known as Zang Dog Palri Monastery) is located at the Durpin Dara Hill. As you enter the monastery, the first thing you will notice is the two large cylinders on two sides (each about some 10-ft high). You can turn the cylinders by a crank, and a lever is so arranged that a bell will ring at every turn. As common with most Buddhist monasteries, outside on the wall, you will see a row of prayer wheels. Durpin monastery was constructed in 1972 by Hon. Dudjum Rimpoche.

There are rare Buddhist manuscripts on Tibetology inside called “The Kangyur” of 108 volumes. These were presented by Dalai Lama when he visited Kalimpong in 1956. He brought them from Tibet. Some idols inside were also brought from Tibet. Dalali Lama revisited Kalimpong on 29th May 1976 when he consecrated at Durpin Monastery. Wiki
Very nice post with amazing photos @MahabubMunna The specialty of this post I found is that you did not show any hill or mountain in any of your photos. Great. The manuscripts look great. I think they were newly printed for the tourists. Which year did you go there? Thanks for sharing this nice post.
@MukulR 2017 we visit South Aisa Meetup. actually too much cloudy this area so around 200-300 far you can’t see anything 3100+ M height of this area almost same height cloud moving. road too much narrow so it’s impossible to take a pic from a little bit far. also this area inside cantonment so you can’s stop your car without your destination.
for your better understanding add temple backside area photo
Now it is clear to me. Earlier I thought you went during the winter but when I saw your photo at the bottom of the post with a short sleeve t-shirt only then I became confused why mountain or hill is missing. Now it is clear. Thanks for the clarification and for the newly added photo @MahabubMunna . Regards.
Great post @MahabubMunna dada. This place is really amazing. I visited in February, 2019.
Some of the oldest Tibet documents are kept here (as per I heard from one Lama in the monastery). There is a playground just behind the monastery. The view from there was amazing. I am sharing the photo taken from backside-
Amazing photo @TravellerG I like it very much. Thanks for tagging me. You can see my recent post to see the GIF quality that I made after the recent meet-up under your guideline and hosted by @Arati . Regards.
