Lonely Planet review for Yiga Choling Gompa

Yiga Choling Gompa, the region’s most famous monastery, has wonderful old murals and is home to monks of the yellow-hat sect. Built in 1850, it enshrines a 5m-high statue of the Maitreya Buddha (Future Buddha) and 300 beautifully bound Tibetan texts. It’s just west of Ghoom, about a 10-minute walk off Hill Cart Rd.
