Kurjey Lhakhang

The temple complex contains three buildings with white walls, detailed wood carvings, and hand-painted decorations on a hillside surrounded by 108 chorten walls.

The first temple, Guru Lhakhang, was constructed in 1652 by Mingyur Tenpa, followed by two additional structures built in 1900 and 1984 respectively.

The annual Kurjey Tshechu festival in June features traditional masked dances performed by monks who present stories from Buddhist mythology.

The temple complex includes a meditation cave, multiple sanctuaries with Buddhist statues, and several ceremonial spaces for religious practices and celebrations.

A cypress tree grows next to the monastery from the walking stick of Guru Rinpoche, while his body imprint remains preserved in a cave inside the oldest building.
