About Zangto Pelri Lhakhang

Zangto Pelri Lhakhang is a Buddhist monastery located in the heart of Phuentsholing, Bhutan's border town with India. It is a representation of Guru Rinpoche's celestial abode and was built in the 1990s by Dasho Aku Tongmi, a lama from the Paro district. The temple is a spiritual center for the local community and serves as a place for daily worship and prayer. The structure of Zangto Pelri Lhakhang is rich in religious symbolism and features several statues of Buddhist deities along with paintings that depict scenes from the life of Guru Rinpoche. The lhakhang is a multi-storied building with beautifully crafted interiors, vibrant wall paintings, and intricate wood carvings that showcase the skilled craftsmanship of Bhutanese artisans. The temple is an important religious site and attracts visitors and devotees who come to seek blessings and admire its spiritual and architectural beauty. The tranquility of the temple offers a peaceful retreat from the bustle of the town. Ascending the lhakhang's levels, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of Phuentsholing and the lush greenery that surrounds it.

Small monastery in town
Small monastery in town. Open 24 hrs as per Google and was open till 10pm when we visited. Spend half an hour walking around the nearby park, and try your hands at a giant prayer wheel. No tickets. No parking.

There are paintings and statues to admire, with prayer wheels. ? Nice place to spend an hour or two, with the whole family. ? Just across is the fabulous "KIZOM BAKERY" !

Excellent Recreational place
The location is middle of the Phuentsholing Town just close to BHUTAN boarder town of Jaigoan India. People can come here and go round the Zangtopelri Monastery earn merits by rotating the prayer wheels and sit around the beautiful lawn. It's a beautiful place in short u can kill Ur boredom.

It's an only Garden there
Me and my friend, went to this garden unknowingly, it's an only Garden there, so you won't be missing it at any point. It's exactly in the center of the market. But, since it will be your first destination on Bhutan's journey you will like it.
