Dip Tse-Chok Ling
Gompa is an old-fashioned gompa with a golden roof. It can be approached through a steep hill, overlooking a valley. Its main hall houses a statue of Sakyamuni. Besides this, it also houses two large drums covered with goat skin. The gompa is famous for its sand mandalas and the butter sculptures that are created during one Losar (the Tibetan New Year) and destroyed during the next Losar.
