The monastery was close-by from where I stayed and it was such a beautiful experience. It was foggy and cloudy when I visited and people in the monastery were so much welcoming and pleasant. The kids were so cute, a person painting the walls, the surrounding and the area was well maintained. It radiation peace and serenity.
Its 15 mins walk from mirik lake. Its a up hill walk. The cab charges ₹150-200. Its very huge and beautiful. Its very peaceful and full of bright colours. You can also see it from the Mirik Lake. If you love to click pictures you can easily spend 30-45 mins here. So plan accordingly.PS- Dont forget to meet cute monestry cat.
Visit to Monastery is worth because we will get to know the true meaning of Buddhism and the peace and tranquility it offers,Do visit a nearby hill top just around one km at a walkable distance from here. You will get a spectacular view of Himalayas from there , do take some localite with you and a stick as there are many stray dogs.
Meditating here will be a good result one. try to visit once. And I reached there near 1:30 pm and the prayer was just started.
We got to know that Bokar Monastery is situated at the highest point in Darjeeling district. It was a brief hike to the monastery and it was lovely to interact with the monks and learn about their culture and tradition.
A NICE AND WELL MAINTAINED PLACE. TRY TO VISIT THE PLACE DURING PRAYER. YOU WILL LIKE THE EXCELLENT PAINTING INSIDE THE MONASTERY. NICE BRID EYE VIEW OF THE SURROUNDING.
Its very nice if you add this spot in your Mirik trip. Beautiful scenery, well maintained, very bright and colorful monastery. Please go there by a car.... its on a high hill.

Its a very nice place... but dont use google maps to visit the place..#GoogleMaps is horrible.. there are plenty of shortcuts which will take you to the place in much lesser time.
It is a peaceful monastery over the Hills.
The most beautiful monastery in the Mirik as well as Darjeeling Himalayan area. The Buddhist population are coming hear every day for prayer. Though all religions are also visit the monastery. The monastery has two sections. Big one is for prayer and other one is the monk hostel. The prayer hall is nice place. Decorated with paintings and other Buddhist culture pictures. Outside of the building is also decorated. A mast visiting place in the Mirik.

View of the town is beautiful. Atmosphere is very good. Photogenic place.
Bokar monastery is in mirik,just behind the court. Since our visit was just prior to Buddha purnima,we were lucky to observe the chanting of the monks. The painting outside the monastery was done by the monks themselves and it was worth watching. The idol of buddha in the monastery is very tall with serenity engraved on his face. A must visit if you go to mirik. Thank you.
The view of the city from here is awesome.
Serene, peaceful, picturesques, beautiful place, Mirik place.

Its a great monastery
Bokar Ngedon Chokhor Ling Monastery is one of the prominent Buddhist centers in the Mirik. The monastery is home to around 500 monks who participate in practicing and sustaining the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha. It also serves as a school teaching the principles of Buddhism. The monastery has a monastic college named Shedra. The monastery was founded by kyabje Bokar Rinpoche in 1984. The original intent was to create a small retreat centre, but at the requests of disciples and lay people Rinpoche began to accept monks for training. Over time the small retreat centre evolved to become the current monastery with two retreat center nearby and monastic college, a shedra.Since the passing of Ven Bokar Rinpoche in 2004 the monastery and its other facilities have been under the direction of his close disciple , Kyabje Bokar Khenchan Donyo Rinpoche. Surprisingly, the extraordinary Indian Mahasiddha Maitripa was said to have spent time meditating here. Marpa, the most distinguished Tibetan translator and possessor of the Mahamudra Heritage, received some of his utmost conveyance from Maitripa. Situated at an elevation of about 5800ft from the sea level, the Bokar Monastery is the highest point and is one of the most important pivots of Buddhism in Mirik. Bokar Rinpoche was one of the most superior instructors of His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa in banishment. Within this period of time, he trained him so much of the prized verbal customs, sutras and tantras. The monastery is a dwelling place for about 500 monks who are involved in the practice and preaching of Buddhist philosophy and Dharma rituals.The Bokar Ngedon Chokhor Ling Monastery is positioned on the top of a hill in Mirik valley. The magnificence and grandeur of the monastery is such that it is visible from the neighbouring hills. The divineness of the monastery with addition to the natural surroundings of the place is truly a sight to contemplate. Bounded by the greenery of the forests, the monastery stands firm, thereby declaring its resplendence. The monastery is red in colour. Henceforth, one can imagine the majesty of the place.A visit to the Mirik Valley without a visit to the Bokar Ngedon Chokhor Ling Monastery would be imperfect. So, do visit the place and explore the opulence of the monastery.
Awsome place for spending good times and meditation.
