Overview

Lamaling monastery sits on Norbu Ri hill—once perched on a low ridge, it was destroyed by an earthquake and lovingly restored in 1930 by Dujom Rinpoche (1904-1987), head of the Nyingmapa order. Today, it’s a warm blend of history, faith, and natural beauty, perfect for Tibet travelers seeking serenity.

Sacred Temple

The star is the octagonal Sangdok Pelri temple, home to a revered Guru Rinpoche statue and a stone bearing his footprints—touchable reminders of the sage’s legacy.

In the main assembly hall (Tsokchen), the glowing Sakyamuni Buddha statue watches over daily and special prayers, where monks and nuns chant softly, filling the air with devotion.

Experience

Don’t miss the gentle 45-minute hike from the parking lot up Norbu Ri—at the top, you’ll gaze down at the old monastery ruins, with sweeping views of the valley.

Locals love sharing stories: how the “life-supporting” Lado stone moved as an omen before the earthquake, and the three-horned goat that vanished into stone (still visible at the ruins) after Rinpoche’s blessing.

Newly paved roads make it easy to reach, it’s not just a temple, it’s a place where myths come alive and quiet moments feel sacred.
