November 2020- October 2023


Lhadzong Tashigang Monastery is one of the oldest meditation retreat centres in the Kingdom of Bhutan. Founded in 1768 by the 12th Je Khenpo, Kunga Gyamtsho.



The restoration was undertaken from November 2020 to October 2023 under the patronage of Her Highness, the Royal Grandmother, Gyalyum Kesang Choeden Wangchuck.


The project was carried out by our monks, combining traditional craftsmanship and monastic knowledge to safeguard the historic monastery and its continued use as a living centre of Buddhist practice, representing an important effort to preserve the physical fabric of one of Bhutan’s oldest retreat centres and the spiritual traditions and practices that have been sustained there for generations.
