Nice little museum, collecting history and artifacts, taking you through time and Tibetan culture, good to learn some key facts. A beautiful and educational display on Tibetan culture. Includes artefacts given by the Dalai Lama, an informative exhibit of Tibetan Medicinal Herbs, several detailed dioramas, a photo essay of the current Dalai Lama, and a fabulous Sand Painting, which I was told created by a delegation from Dharamsala that offers a blessing to all who view it.
This museum is situated approximately 300 meters away from RINK Mall. Photography is allowed free inside. There was a lot of information about Tibetan society inside this museum.

Recently I went to Darjeeling and I am visiting Darjeeling for the first time. I stayed in a hotel on Gandhi Road and before reaching Darjeeling I found this Himalayan Tibet Museum in Google which is situated near my hotel, on Gandhi Road. I kept this Museum at the bottom of the Darjeeling travel list . On the last day of my stay in Darjeeling , my cab was 2 hours late and I thought of spending my time by visiting this Museum .

This place is a hidden gem. It's not so popular , but this museum should be popular . It has a huge collection of Tibetan artefacts, photos, history artefacts , etc. It contains informative articles, interesting information, and colourful statues . The museum also puts light on the culture of Nepal, Bhutan, Ladakh region and north eastern region of India. The museum has two stories. The collection includes pictures, arts, books, etc., to depict the geography, culture of Tibet. A 3 dimensional depiction of the Himalayas and the location of Tibet is one of the attractions of the museum. The lower storey of the museum has the full information about the Dalai Lama.

This is a must visit in Darjeeling. The colors inside this museum are mesmerising . Apart from learning a lot of things about Tibetan culture and history , The environment is enthralling. Ticket price is very nominal .

This place doesn't have dedicated parking. You have to find a parking spot on the adjacent road .

Please visit this place . It should be on your unmissable list .

It was an amazing experience. While from the outside it doesn't look too much like your average museum - its interiors have been completely modified detailing all historical and cultural items the Tibetans used as well showing the entire history of Tibet up to the modern time including the present day.

The basement contains an audiovisual section which describes the journey of the Dalai Lama. The visual section was closed off as very few people were present as of now .

The ticket price is Rs. 50 per adult which is reasonable. The museum also contains a miniature replica of the Potala Palace as well as a physical replica of the Tibetan landscape.

Absolutely recommended to visit. The staff is also very friendly

This museum is located at a distance not far from Keventers, and offers an unique experience by showing the cultural diversity of Tibet, showing the maps, dresses, religion, dance, medicines, culture and a lot more. Must visit place for Tibetian enthusiasts

I'm a museum freak and I've found this Hidden gem in Darjeeling town just 500m away from keventers. There is a unique collection on Tibetan culture in this two-stored museum. Visit YouTube channel "Travel Freak Oindrila" for detailed information about this property.

A great place to soak in the rich Tibetan history, culture, religion and learn about things not taught in history books! It also pictorially depicts the poignant story of Tibetans oppressed by the Chinese and their struggle for autonomy and freedom.

Lovely place to know about the origin of Tibetan culture and Buddhism. This museum is located at a walkable distance from Chawrasta. The ticket price is Rs 50 for each individual.

Firstly this museum brings out the culture,art,people and history of Tibet.Instead of reading tons of books, a tour of this museum will open doors to a vast Tibetan culture.
A splendid replica of Potala palace is one of the main attraction.Its display includes Tibetan coins,stamps,musical instruments, antique artifacts, exquisite Tibetan thankas, miniature figures and host of other cultural items not found anywhere else. It also have a elaborate section on the life of His Holiness The Dalai Lama.
Photography is allowed inside.
This place is a must visit in Darjeeling.

If one wants to know about Tibetan History, His Holiness Dalai Lama's life, Buddhism and it's evolution along the time. One must visit this place, you'll be welcomed by an Auntie who's there to explain all the exhibits to you. We randomly spotted this place near our hotel and we didn't regret visiting this place after that.

Walk straight away from Darjeeling mal keeping keventers and glenerys at your right side you will find this place ... Not a crowdy place to visit essence of Tibet culture in every corner of this museum can be felt .... Antique pictures instruments, information about tribes , deities, art culture ... There is a show about different aspects of Tibet culture do visit this place before 5:30 PM ... You can collect agarbatti sticks many books upon Tibet culture from here... A very enjoyable evening can be spent... Most importantly the place is information stuffed so keep time in hand to read each and every information board provided with antiques.. This destination could be a good one to spend your quality time during your visit to Darjeeling locality... The day you kept for exploring the local sightseeing.

Himalayan Tibet Museum is a newly inaugurated museum in Darjeeling that was built in the year 2015. It was built by Tibetan guru Gurung Tulku Nima Hoiser Rinpoche to mark the 80th birthday of H.H Dalai Lama. It is a must-see site in Darjeeling, especially for the ones that wish to gather knowledge about the Tibetan Buddhism from the core.Due to its location in the heart of the city, Himalayan Tibet Museum is well-connected by the roadways and railways.Fare is only 50 rupees. I am mentioning some of It's important pieces viz Potala Palace Model, statue and detail of Three great Ancestral religious kings,tibetan medical system, Guru Padmasambhava,diamond sutra text(hand written with gold ink),white tara statue, his holiness Dalai Lama details etc etc. Curator Nisha Jigme MAM is so well-behaved and polite. She is such a respectful gentle woman I have ever seen.It is a must visit place in darjeeling. Walking distance from Caventers.

A lesser known and less travelled tourist attraction at mainland Darjeeling. It's just a 3 minute walk along the Gandhi road from the Mall car stand/Keventers.

With an entry fee of ₹50/- you can spend one full hour (or even more) in learning the history of Tibet, their religious and socio-economic culture and most importantly about the Tibetans on exile.

In my case I thoroughly enjoyed the museum. It's worth a visit.
