Bhutia Busty Monastery is about 1.5 kilometers downhill from Chowrasta by foot. That is the only way to get to the monastery. This monastery was founded in 1879 and is related to both the Kagyu and Nyingma sects of Tibetan Buddhism.
However, the Bhutia Busty Monastery was completely demolished by an earthquake in 1934 but was rebuilt under the patronage of the King of Sikkim. This is one of the reasons why this Tibetan monastery has significant Sikkimese influence in the architecture of this monastery.
