Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monastery, Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Namobuddha, Nepal
Located 40 kilometers southeast of Kathmandu, Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monastery stands on top of Namobuddha hill with golden arched roofs and traditional architecture.
The monastery was established in the 20th century by Ninth Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche at a site where Prince Mahasatwo sacrificed himself to save a starving tigress.
The complex houses over 250 monks who study traditional Buddhist teachings while also learning modern subjects like science, mathematics, and computer studies.
Visitors can observe meditation sessions in the main hall and access the monastery via maintained pathways leading up Namobuddha hill in Kavrepalanchok District.
The monastery includes a Tibetan medical clinic, a monastic college, and the Shree Mangal Dvip Branch School dedicated to educating young monks.
