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.

    Tushar Chatterjee

    Chandigarh

    Tushar's 10 days trip to Dharamshala

    My experience with Travel Triangle was mostly great. The hotels were pleasant, and the cab driver was excellent and very cooperative, making my trip more enjoyable. However, there were a couple of disappointing aspects. First, I was informed that my sedan would have a luggage carrier, but it was not
    provided. Secondly, I felt uncomfortable with the follow-up from Mr. Vikas regarding the last payment installment, as it gave the impression that I was not interested in paying. Even after settling the payment at the Amritsar hotel, I was asked to pay again for charges that Travel Triangle had not cleared with the hotel. These issues slightly tarnished an otherwise wonderful experience.

    Rahul's 3 days trip to Dharamshala

    At the time of booking agent forced me to pay in a single day. But when time comes to deliver the hotel vouchers agent ignored my issue. Even the sales team did not pay the hotel amount. Hotel staff asked me to pay the amount. Cab driver was good but cab seats were not confortable. This time experie
    nce was not good at all. When hotel staff asked me to pay the hotel stay amount which i have already paid to travel triangle agent.
