Bomdila Monastery, Tibetan Buddhist monastery in West Kameng district, India.

The monastery consists of three distinct sections: Upper Gompa with Buddha temple, Middle Gompa containing the Blue Medicine Buddha, and Lower Gompa with prayer halls.

The 12th reincarnation of Tsona Gontse Rinpoche established this monastery in 1965, modeling it after the Tsona Gotse Monastery of southern Tibet.

Senior lamas teach young monks about Buddhism and tantrayana practices within the monastery halls, maintaining traditional education methods for future generations.

The monastery welcomes visitors between October and April, with access available via Guwahati Airport located 342 kilometers away or Tezpur railway station.

The Middle Gompa houses a large statue of the Blue Medicine Buddha, which local healers consider particularly important for their traditional practices.
