Lachung Monastery

Lachung Monastery: Situated bang opposite the banks of the Lachung Chu river, the Lachung Monastery is located in a very aesthetic area amidst a bunch of apple orchards. An edifice incorporated by the Nyingmapa sect of Buddhism in the year 1806 still stands tall today. This monastery also has an installation of Guru Padmasambhava’s statue to honour his memory as an individual believed to be one of the founding fathers of Buddhism in Tibet. The unique feature of this shrine is the fact that it is very vibrant and tiny, unlike other monasteries. The two prayer wheels which have dragons carved out of metal above it along with the two storied religious halls are the salient features of this monastery.
