Status: Proposal

The LD Kazi Memorial Adventure and Cultural Centre in Chakung, Sikkim, is a unique hub dedicated to promoting adventure sports, cultural heritage, and sustainable tourism. Named after Lhendup Dorji Kazi (LD Kazi), the first Chief Minister of Sikkim, the center serves as both a tribute to his legacy and a space for community-driven activities that celebrate Sikkim’s natural beauty and traditions.

Lhendup Dorji Kazi (LD Kazi) played a pivotal role in Sikkim’s political history as the state’s first Chief Minister (1975-1979) after its integration into India. He was a visionary leader who championed social development, democracy, and sustainable growth. The memorial center in Chakung, his hometown, stands as a testament to his contributions, preserving his ideals through adventure, education, and cultural initiatives centered towards the youth of Soreng district.

Beyond its natural beauty, Sikkim thrives on music and cultural festivals, blending tradition with modernity. Events like Go Chakung Festival, Red Panda Winter Carnival, Losar, Maghey Mela, and Pang Lhabsol showcase folk music, dance, and contemporary performances, reflecting the global rise of music as a universal language. With traditional tunes merging with modern genres, Sikkim contributes to the worldwide evolution of music while preserving its own heritage.

With its stunning landscapes, spiritual depth, adventure activities, thriving wildlife, and growing artistic scene, Sikkim remains a top destination for travellers seeking adventure, peace, and cultural immersion.
