Songtsen Gampo Lhakhang

This two-floor chapel is dedicated to Songtsen Gampo and his two wives. The original building dates from the 7th century and resembles a smaller Yumbulagang, though the current version is a post–Cultural Revolution reconstruction.

Find it just east of the sealed road on the main highway through the Gyama Valley.
