Sajiya Gompa

The most recognisable of the Buddhist monasteries scattered around Nangchen, this one is perched on a hill above town like an old manor and its kora is popular with locals. You can hike even further up the hill behind the gompa for excellent views of the valley and the Za Qu River (扎曲). Located 4.5km west of town.
