Nangchen Gar is a Drukpa Kagyu monastery lies in the southeast of Nangchen county. The monastery houses several hundred monks. This monastery is divided in a lower and an upper part. The upper part is the most lively. The location of the upper part is quite spectacular seen from below. The upper part has a prayer hall, some rooms where very old and revered monks live. The view over the county from the upper monastery is quite special as is the drive from Nangchen, that goes through rural areas with small villages and Nomads, past herds of Yaks and narrow mountain roads.
