Temisgam Monastery And Gompa In Temisgam

This old Monastery was built in 15th century AD by King Drag Pa Bom. The monastery is built like a complex, containing several small gompas. The monastery has an idol of "Avaloketishvar", also known as the Compassionate Buddha. You can also travel north up the valley to see a smaller gompa called Tsekarmo. This unique monastery is located amidst tranquil surroundings and must be visited when you are in Temisgam. There is also the Khatsa Gompa which is rarely visited but worth seeing. To go here you need to travel upstream past the village of Tia.
