The nunnery is on a hilltop overlooking the Punakha valley and was built as a college for the Nuns. There is a stunning white painted Stupa in the grounds and when we visited there were also few nuns studying in the grounds. In the main building the woodcarvings and buddhas were amazing.

The only nunnery we visited on our tour of Bhutan. A friendly place, we were greeted by some young nuns who were offering some souvenirs that they had made, suncatchers, etc. As well as religious training this nunnery provides life skills and craft training to the nuns.

This was the only nunnery we visited in Bhutan. We were glad to have come here. This nunnery is located on top of a hill, from where it looks out over the entire Punakha valley and the surrounding mountains. The monastery is relatively new. Everything is quite clean, and the garden is very well maintained. The main temple is beautifully decorated and full of statues characteristic of Lamaist Buddhism. Our best memory of this monastery is a short time spent with the nuns. Several of them communicated with us in English, and they were all friendly and always smiling. This was so nice to us that we lit a butter lamp and made a common wish.
