Kenchogsum Lakhang was not our Itinerary but we were taken there by our Tour Guide during a recent trip to Bhutan. I believe we unearthed a hidden gem in Bumthang in Central Bhutan. The Kenchogsum Lakhang was one of the most beautiful Temples/Monasteries we saw.totally different from the rest, the colours used on works of art and the art itself was something else! Work is still in progress and we got to observe the artists at work, mixing colours from natural sources etc. The 8th century Monastery destroyed in a fire and now rebuilt is definitely worth a visit. If travelling/visiting in the winter months, visitors should not forget to take a pair of thick socks to wear once the footwear is removed to enter the Temple. The ground is extra cold, wondering if this could be because the temple is supposed to be built over an underground river.
