Kabi Lungchok (also spelled Kabi Longstok) is a historic site of significance, which is located north of Gangtok on the Northern Highway in northeastern Indian state of Sikkim.

Stone pillars mark the location where the treaty was signed. The Treaty was signed at Kabi Lungchok by the Bhot King, Khye Bumsa representing the Bhutias and the Lepcha Chief Thekong Tek.
