Places to Visit in Namchi
Cottage Industry : Cottage industries or the small scale industries (SSIs) are usually the terms used for small business carried on at home involving less number of people as laborers who may or may not be the members of one family and sometimes, such a production or manufacturing of goods involves the traditional artisans and craftsmen who have inherited their work as an art form from their ancestors.

Doling Gumpa: Our goal,the Manaslu Track, is less travelled than some of the better known treks and navigates around three sides of Mount Manaslu which soars to 8,163 metres. It would take us 17 days and we'd ascend to Larke La (Larke Pass) at around 5,135 metres, although the exact altitude varies from publication to publication.
RockGarden :Located just below the panoramic Samdrupste, Rock Garden is a beautiful, well landscaped picnic spot with awe inspiring views of Mt. Kanchenjunga.
Namchi Monastery:
the namchi monastery, actually known as the decchen choyling gumpa is located at ahaley...a small area within the namchi town, just beyond the baichung bhutia stadium...the monastery complex is lovely and quite charming with gold wall imprints of the various bodhisatvas (visible on the left hand side of the pic, near the other gumpa)
this should be one of the other major attractions of the namchi town, but it barely gets written about because most of the hype and traffic is directed to the sandruptse statue
