While coming from Darjeeling, along Hill Cart road you will see this Monastery on the right as you enter Ghoom.
Although SamtenCholing Monastery is also locally known as Ghoom monastery, the original Ghoom monastery is located further down and on the narrow old military road near Sterling Resort.
Batasia Loop to SamtenCholing Monastery is the Batasia Loop. At Batasia the toy train
takes a double spiral loop amidst a wonderful manicured garden overlooking the Eastern
Himalayan.
There is war memorial constructed at the middle of Batasia loop to commemorate the Gorkha
soldiers from Darjeeling hills who sacrificed their lives in various wars following India's
independence.
