Tourists and others who visit North India also tour Darjeeling which is one of the best tourist spots in the world. Ghoom monastery is also popularly called as Yoga Choeling and it belongs to Gelukpa or Yellow Hat sect. Visitors can watch a 15 ft tall Maitreya Buddha statue. There are also varieties of idols and sacred bells which will lift-up the positive mood immediately.
