Buddhist monastery dating from 1914, dedicated to world peace, with statues of Buddha and Padmasambhava and frescoes.

The Mag-Dhog Yolmowa gompa is a beautiful Buddhist monastery dating from 1914. Located in Aloobari, from where its nickname comes, only 3 kilometers from Darjeeling on Tenzing Norgay Road, it is dedicated to world peace. The shrine houses beautiful statues of Buddha and Padmasambhava and colorful murals. Unfortunately the monastery has suffered from the ravages of time and a renovation would be necessary. On site you can find traditional handicrafts from Tibet and Sikkim. Do not hesitate to make a small tour in the village nearby...

Le nom de cette gompa n'est pas très poétique en français car on peut le traduire par "Monastère du Champ de Patates"! En hindi et nepali, il n'y a aucun problème. Par contre, c'est un des temples les plus plus pittoresques de Darjeeling. Il est situé sur la route qui relie le quartier deTung Sung Busty à Ghoom (Tenzing Norgay road) . C'est le chemin de Tiger Hill si l'on veut aller jusque là-bas à pied. Cette petite gompa est du plus pur style népalais . Les fresque qui décorent les murs intérieur sont très belles. Elles ont été restaurées il n'y a pas très longtemps par Kunga Khedrup, un artiste tibétain de Darjeeling. L'édifice n'est pas ouvert au public. Vous pouvez demander au gardien qui habite une petite maison juste à côté de vous ouvrir. A la fin de la visite, vous pourrez faire une petite offrande et signer le livre d'or. Si vous avez une petite faim, il y a une boulangerie-pâtisserie à 50 mètres juste en contrebas.
