Algarah is famous for the remains of the ancient Damsang Gadi (Damsang Fort).

The fort was initially built to fight the Drukpas of Bhutan, there are many myths about dukpas fearing to visit the place as it was believed that the King Gaybo Achuk was killed by the Dukpa King by forgery as it was said that King Gaybo Achuk used to practice some ancient magic, wherein if his body was cut into two half's it would automatically rejoin so The dukpas king came up with the plan and lured him into it, and was said that the dukpas king chopped his head from his body and applied ashes on his half cut neck so it could not be rejoined, finally resulting to the death of the Lepcha king and it is believed that any Dukpas visiting that place will be struck to death due to some supernatural forces.
