Sangchhen Dorji Lhuendrup Lhakhang Nunnery is a beautiful temple and nunnery located on a ridge overlooking Toebesa, Punakha, and Wangduephodrang valleys. It features a double-storied temple, a stupa resembling Nepal's Boudhanath Stupa, and a nunnery complex. The temple houses a 14-foot bronze statue of Avalokiteshvara and other important statues. The nunnery complex offers religious training and life skill programs like tailoring and thangka painting. Plus, the intricately carved black marble blocks surrounding the stupa add a unique touch to this serene monastic complex.
