Paro, Western

BUILT : 1421 or 1433

Jangtsa Dumtseg Lhakhang was built in 1421 by Thongtong Gyelpo to control the Serpentine force at its foundation. It is now considered a hidden gem of great architecture.  

The Lhakhang is designed like a mandala and has three floors that represent different levels of initiation. It is shaped like a chorten (stupa) with a white tower on top, which is uncommon in Bhutan.

When you approach the temple, you will be welcomed by a peaceful atmosphere and beautiful views of the valley. Inside, you can experience the spiritual ambiance, admire the intricate craftsmanship, and enjoy the tranquility.

Jangtsa Dumtseg Lhakhang is a must-visit place for those who want to understand Bhutan’s rich cultural and religious traditions more deeply.
