| Lord Shiva at Siddeshvara Dham in Namchi, Sikkim |
Today is the third day of my travel diary where I will go to Namchi city. Namchi is the capital of South Sikkim in the Indian state of Sikkim.
Namchi is situated at an altitude of 5500 feet above sea level. Namchi is situated at a distance of 78 kilometers from the capital Gangtok. Namchi is well connected to other towns in Sikkim and West Bengal.

Most of the people of Namchi are Hindus and Buddhists. The languages are spoken Nepali.
Namchi is the first to become a tourist spot and pilgrimage spot. The world's largest statue of Buddhists Paadamasambhaba ...the height of the statue is 118 feet is situated in the Wish-fulfilling hill.

Today I went up to Char Dham, It is situated in one place on the Solophok hilltop in Namchi. The Siddeshvara Dham is situated in Char Dham place and the height of the Lord Shiva statue is 87 feet.

| Kireteswar Mahadev |
Char Dham is a wonderful place for tourists and Hindu devotees. There are replicas of the twelve jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva and the Char Dham.
The Char Dham place is well decorated and well maintained so dignifying. Different types of flowers are surrounded by the Dham.
There is a grand statue of Kireeswar Mahadev and the temple of Shirdi Sai Baba. The Char Dham is well maintained by the ministry of tourism government of India.
After visiting Char Dham I went to the Helipad in upper Pelling. A helipad has located 5 km from the town at an altitude of around 5000ft.
