Kangchen Monastery

TIME : 2016/2/17 12:02:51

This little-visited but interesting monastery actually consists of two separate and rival complexes. Your Tibetan guides probably won't enter the well-tended building to the left because of its statues of Dorje Shugden, the powerful Tantric protector outlawed by the Dalai Lama. Kangchen is just off the Friendship Hwy, 19km past Nartang.
