    This place is wonder and devotional but it is specifically under construction. Most of its part is already made from old times though a new building is being build which is much gigantic , then the gonpa itself the area is near the local market and is peace full , it is prefer to visit it in afternoon hours because the street light just add ups to the beautie of the place and become awesome for picture clicking.
