Go there and contact
Rigsum Gompa monastery perched at an altitude of 2,300 m, a 3-hour walk from Bumdeling, with magnificent paintings inside
Highly venerated by the Bhutanese, the Rigsum Gompa monastery ("gompa" means monastery in Tibetan) was built in the 18th century by Lham Tshering Gyamtsho on one of the sites where Guru Rinpoche used to meditate. Inside, Buddha is omnipresent: there are magnificent paintings of his life, as well as a beautiful statue executed by a Newar craftsman. Perched at an altitude of 2,300 m, the monastery is a 3-hour walk from Bumdeling. It is a 2h30 drive from Trashigang, even further than the village of Trashi Yangste.
