The Norbugang Chorten (Sikkimese: ནོར་པུ་སྒང་མཆོད་རྟེན་, Wylie: nor bu sgang mchod rten) is a stupa situated in Yuksom, near the Gyalshing city of the Gyalshing district in the Indian State of Sikkim. It was erected following the crowning of the first Chogyal of Sikkim in 1642 at Narbugong Coronation Throne near Yuksom (Gyalshing).

The Chorten was the place where Lama Lhutsun Chempo created the time capsule by burying all the gifts to mark the occasion.[1]
