           Rani Dhunga jungle Trek:  
 


The foot path  heading further west of Sangachoeling monastery through the dense forest and ridge , roughly about three hours one way walk from Pelling gets the visitors to a site named Rani Dhunga  where there is a big rock as land mark of the site.  Before one gets to Rani Dhunga, one comes across a big tree with a naturally appeared hole at its main stump. About it there are  diverse beliefs  and stories. Every year on the eve of Ramnawami,  large number of pilgrims visit the site.Though the local people have different belief about Rani Dhunga and many visit it to worship. The site bearing the stone used to be the boundary mark to identify the demarcation of two big area Lama Khowa and Rani Khowa.   Once upon   a time it was the boundary  pillar between two portions of forests. At present the boundary, no longer exists yet the site sustains the name Rani Dhunga, Whereas the Buddhist call this site Thikchuyangtse and many budhist yogis lived here on retreat. The wild men used to appear in this site and some village men narrate story about this animal to have lived in harmony with those yogis. Besides piligrimage , the site is suitable for a day  jungle trek during the season of wild orchids and  flowers. Take a guide.
