Baba Mandir Memorial

Size: 10 items

A visit to Nathu La is mandatory. Once a stop on the Silk Route, Nathu La (which means listening ears) is a pass connecting India with China which was opened in 2006, after a gap of 44 years. On your way to Nathu La don't miss the Baba's Mandir. Frequented by locals, defence personnel, mountaineers and tourists, this is a very popular tourist and pilgrim destination situated on the road to Kupup near Nathu La, at a height of 14,500 feet in East Sikkim. This is a memorial built in honour of Sepoy Harbhajan Singh of the 23rd Punjab Regiment, who apparently drowned near here in 1968 and it is believed that his samadhi brings good luck. It is considered a good omen to visit the shrine before setting off for a journey. Premal Jhaveri brings us images of this shrine.
