Perched high on a mountain ridge overlooking the capital city of Thimphu, the Thangtong Dewachen Nunnery embodies the connection between Bhutan's spiritual past, its evolving present, and the challenges of the future.
This center of Vajrayana practice houses a temple dedicated to Thangtong Gyalpo, serving as a central hub for rituals and ceremonies throughout the year. The temple's centerpiece is an imposing, gilded image of the great yogi, and its walls are adorned with rare thangkas.
