A four-kilometer trek from Sillery Gaon leads to the nearly ruined Damsang fort. This fort, built in 1690 by the Lepcha Kingdom, was the epicenter of ethnic conflict between Lepchas and Bhutias. Another reason for building the fort was to deter East India Company aggression. This fort is only 1 km from Pedong, and the road through the pine forest provides a magnificent view of the surrounding hills and valleys.
