Pemayangtse is a place that is situated near the town of Pelling in the northeastern Indian state of Sikkim. Pemayangtse Monastery sits atop a ridge high above the Rangit river surrounded by the brilliant snow capped Himalayan peaks. The monastery houses numerous religious idols and other objects of worship, most of which are precious because of their antiquity.Magnificent sculptures and gracefully decorated paintings adorn the first floor of the monastery. One of the major attractions of the Pemayangtse Monastery is a seven-tiered painted wooden structure, portraying Guru Rimpoche's Heavenly Palace 'Santopalri'. Late Dungzin Rimpoche took five years to finish this structure single handedly. Presently, it is situated on the top floor of the monastery. The Chaam (monk dance) is held every year, on the 28th and 29th day of the 12th month of the Tibetan Lunar Calendar.
