Zangto Pelri Lhakhang


The modern Zangto Pelri Lhakhang, in the centre of the town's main plaza, is a replica of Guru Rinpoche's celestial abode (though we're guessing the original paradise isn't made of concrete!). There's not much to see here, but the surrounding garden is pleasant and the pilgrims spinning prayer wheels offer some fine people-watching on a balmy evening.
