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.

    Karthik Narayanan

    Karthik's 7 days trip to Dharamshala

    The trip was well organized by Travel on Ease. Hotels were good. Location guidance was also very good. The only issue was with the cab. During the last day while dropping us off to Chandigarh, the driver stopped a few kilometers before the airport and informed me that payment didn't happen to him b
    y the agency (Travel on Ease) and hence he will not drop us. We were very frustrated since our flight departs in another45 mins and if we do not check in at counter on time, they will deny boarding. When contacted Travel on Ease, they kept saying they will settle but driver wanted immediate payment which was not being done. Finally I had to shell out 6k to make the driver drop us at Airport. We had a very tense finish to the memorable trip. We did manage to board the flight luckily since our flight got delayed by an hour.
