About Namgyal Monastery in Dharamshala

The Namgyal Monastery in Dharamshala is one of the most popular sites for Buddhist Studies. Also referred to as the Namgyal Monastery Institute of Buddhist Studies or the Namgyal Tantric College, it is the personal monastery of the Dalai Lama. It is the largest Tibetan monastery in the world, outside of Tibet. Located in McLeodGanj in Dharamshala, the monastery was founded in around 1564 in Lhasa, Tibet by the Third Dalai Lama, the monastery was named in order to honor Namgyälma, the female goddess of long life. After the Tibetan uprising, the monastery was shifted to India, where it continues to thrive and attract visitors from all over the world. Namgyal Monastery is responsible for maintaining the rituals and teachings of all the main lineages of Buddhism.

Tourists visiting Dharamshala make sure that they get to visit this monastery, and spend a few hours here just taking in the solitude, peace and quiet. The almost rhythmic chants of the monks who live and pray here will transport you to another world for sure. There are huge, imposing figurines of Lord Buddha all over the monastery, which make for interesting viewing. Make sure to give this place a visit, whenever you come to Dharamshala.

    Avinash's 2 days trip to Dharamshala

    I booked a multi-city Himachal & Amritsar trip with this tour agency, covering Shimla, Manali, Dharamshala, Dalhousie, Khajjiar and Amritsar and the experience was excellent! From start to finish, the entire journey was smooth, well-organized and comfortable. The cab provided was clean, well-maintai
    ned and perfect for long mountain drives. Hotel staff were welcoming, accommodation was very comfortable and the food was excellent. A special mention to our driver extremely professional, polite and knowledgeable about all routes. He drove very safely through hilly areas, never rushed, and always made sure we were comfortable. He also suggested great viewpoints, local eateries and photo spots along the way, which made the trip even better and having a reliable driver truly made the journey stress-free. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a trustworthy tour agency with excellent cab service and a skilled driver! Will definitely travel with them again.
