Later after the ceremony, a wall like structure was erected and named as Norbugang chorten, which still marks the original site. It is believed that the people who had attended the ceremony offered huge amount of treasures that are still buried beneath the Norbugang Chorten.

Dubdi Monastery, occasionally called Yuksom Monastery, is a Buddhist monastery of the Nyingma sect of Tibetan Buddhism near Yuksom, in the Geyzing subdivision of West Sikkim district, in eastern India. The Dubdi monastery is a 4 km trek amid lush greens, gushing streams, wild woods (oak & chestnut trees) and ancient bridges. It is situated at a height of 2100 meters.

Established in 1701, it is professed to be the oldest monastery in Sikkim and is located on the top of a hill which is about an hour's walk from Yuksom. It was also known as the Hermit's Cell after its ascetic founder Lhatsun Namkha Jigme, who along with two other lamas from Tibet met at Norbugang near Yuksom and crowned Phuntsog Namgyal as the first King or Chogyal of Sikkim at Norbugang Yuksom in 1642.

A 5-to-10-minute walk from the property one can visit Kathok Lake; known as ‘Kathok Tsho’ in the local language. It is a charming lake located near to the residency. It is considered as the soul lake of Lama Kathok Kuntu Zangpo, who pioneered in introducing Buddhism to this beautiful land in 1642 A.D. This lake had been sanctified by him to use it as a medium to connect with God for oracular practices. The water from this lake was used in the coronation of the first Chogyal of Sikkim. To maintain its sanctity, a purification ceremony ‘Tru-sol’ is performed here by lamas every year.

With the serene and tranquil atmosphere, the lake can be used as a place to just relax and enjoy some quiet time. Entry can be gained by paying an admittance fee of Rs. 10.

Nestled in the dense forest cover surrounding the sacred Khecheopalri hill, is a lake which is nearly 3500 years old and has a renowned status in local folklore. It has gained immense popularity as a wish-fulfilment lake and is a scared place to visit for both Buddhist and Hindu pilgrims to this region.

This lake was also identified as the footprints of Goddess Tara, as from a high vantage point the contours of the lake appear like a footprint. Another belief is that the foot prints are of Hindu god Shiva. An interesting feature of the lake is that leaves are not allowed to float on the lake, which is ensured by the birds which industriously pick them up as soon as they drop into the lake surface.

One can visit this location by travelling 30 minutes by vehicle from Yuksom.
