RAMIDHAM: A SACRED HAVEN OF PEACE AND NATURAL BEAUTY

Nestled atop the hills above Bara Samdong in the Soreng district, Ramidham stands as a
famous religious site, drawing devotees and nature lovers alike. The name ‘Ramidham’ holds
deep significance, as ‘Rami’ means holy and blissful. Surrounded by a lush landscape filled with
vibrant rhododendron plants, chestnut trees, magnolias, and sunkhari, this sacred place offers a
serene retreat where spirituality and natural splendor blend harmoniously.
Ramidham is located about 13-14 km from Soreng and requires a connecting 2.5 km
uphill journey from the Kaluk-Soreng SPWD road at Samdong.
A significant event at Ramidham is the Saptami Puja, which is held twice a year. During
these occasions, people from far and near gather to offer prayers and seek blessings for world
peace. There are many temples, dhams, and other sacred places in and around Ramidham, each
with its own historical and spiritual significance. There is sacred pond called ‘Sakundhara,’
which, according to local belief, was created by a Sadhu’s power as there was no water available
in the area. Visitors can also witness this miraculous site and appreciate its spiritual significance.

Apart from its religious significance, Ramidham is also known for its breathtaking views. From
this hilltop sanctuary, visitors can enjoy a stunning panoramic view of Mt. Kanchenjunga, one of
the world’s most majestic peaks. Furthermore, parts of Western Sikkim can be seen from this

for those seeking inner tranquility. Additionally, the area provides opportunities for short wild
treks, allowing visitors to explore the natural beauty of the surroundings up close.

undertaking beautification projects and constructing important structures such as the statue of the
first Limboo teacher and a traditional house, preserving the cultural heritage of the area.
