Dro-dul Chorten is a stupa in Gangtok in the Indian state of Sikkim. A stupa, a Sanskrit word for "heap" - is a mound-like or hemispherical structure containing relics that is used as a place of meditation.
It is located on a hillock not far from the Namgyal Institute of Tibetology. Cars / taxis would usually drop visitors at the base of the hill and visitors have to climb a steep path to reach the stupa.
