Chagri Monastery, Buddhist monastery in Thimphu Valley, Bhutan.

Chagri Dorjeden Monastery, also called Cheri Monastery, stands on a hill above the end of the road at Dodeyna, about 15 km from Thimphu. It is a Buddhist monastery of the Southern Drukpa Lineage of the Kagyu school, built in the dzong architectural style. The site is reached by a steep walk of about an hour from Dodeyna.

Ngawang Namgyal, the first Zhabdrung Rinpoche, founded Chagri Dorjeden in 1620 at the age of 27, the first monastery he established in Bhutan. He spent three years there in strict retreat and in 1623 set up Bhutan's first Drukpa monastic order, installing a reliquary stupa and a community of 30 monks taught by Lhawang Lodoe. In 1705 the 7th Druk Desi, Umze Peljor, retired there and died in 1707.

The monastery serves as a teaching center for the Southern Drukpa Lineage of the Kagyu school, keeping traditional Buddhist practices alive. Pilgrims and believers visit this place to participate in rituals and learn from the monks.

The walk starts at Dodeyna, at the end of the road about 15 km from Thimphu, and climbs the steep hill to the monastery in roughly one hour. The path is uphill the whole way, so allow time for rests. The monastery is a teaching and retreat centre of the Southern Drukpa Lineage, so parts of the site may be closed to visitors during retreats.

The surrounding hills are home to goral populations, a native goat-antelope species that inhabits the monastery's mountainous terrain. These rare animals can sometimes be spotted from the hiking route.
