Buddha Park in Ravangla is truly one of the most peaceful and stunning places I’ve ever visited. The massive statue of Lord Buddha, standing tall against the backdrop of lush greenery and the majestic Himalayan range, feels almost surreal. The whole area is so calm and serene—it’s the perfect spot to take a break from the rush of everyday life.
The park is beautifully maintained, with well-paved walkways, vibrant gardens, and plenty of space to just sit and soak in the tranquility. I loved the vibe here—it’s spiritual yet welcoming, whether you’re here for prayer or just to admire the beauty around you. If you’re lucky enough to visit on a clear day, the mountain views are absolutely magical!
One of the highlights for me was just walking around and taking in the peaceful energy of the place. There’s also a small meditation center where you can spend a few quiet moments reflecting. It’s a place that feels like it’s meant for everyone—families, solo travelers, or even couples looking for some quiet time together.
If you’re visiting Ravangla, this is a must-see. I’d recommend going in the morning or late afternoon to enjoy cooler weather and softer light for photos. Don’t forget your camera—trust me, you’ll want to capture the beauty of this place!
