Kilung Lhakhang

Kilung Lhakhang is located at a twenty minutes drive from the Dzong towards Kurtoe Dungkhar. The inhabited here are called Tshanglas, who have migrated during the late 1880’s. Kilung Lhakhang is situated on a ridge overlooking the Kurichu River built on the former site of the Kilung Gyalpo, a regional chieftain. It houses the sacred chain mall once used to recapture a statue that miraculously flew away from the Lhuentshi Dzong.
