A Very beautiful monastery situated on a calm and serene hill. It is a 45 - 55 minutes hike uphill from the nearest route. It is a perfect place for a short day hike.
Built in 1620 this is a place worth visiting for anyone if your up for nature expedition and learn about Buddhist way of life
Great views of near pristine alpine landscape from the top; monastery at different levels, put the effort and climb the steep steps to get to the top for great views; you can also see the turnoff to Tango from up here
Amazing place for meditation and witness the beauty of nature. It is necessary to have tracking shoe otherwise difficult to visit this place during rainy days
Changri Dorjeden Monastery (Cherri Monastery) is one of the most popular tourist destination from the capital, Thimphu. It is the meditation abode of the monks. Residence Monks practice three years, three months and three days solitary retreat in this monastery. The base is about half an hour drive from Thimphu. Hike from the base will take about 45 minutes to an hour. Half way, there is a stupa with a resting place. Perfect serenity rules over here. You can find langurs and mountain deer here.
A peaceful meditation and retreat center with ancient sacred relics on display.
Wonderful views across the valley! Great introduction to hiking. Not particularly arduous trail and a relatively short 45 min hike but the reward at the top is worth the effort.
