Tharpa Choling Gompa

TIME : 2016/2/17 13:25:01

Built in 1922, this ambient Gelugpa-school Tibetan monastery contains statues of the past, present and future Buddhas. A Garuda protects each Buddha from above, his mouth devouring hatred and anger (in the form of a snake). It’s a 30-minute walk (uphill) from town, 50m past Tripai Rd.
