Dechenphodrang Ney

Dechenphodrang Ney, Bumdeling Gewog. alt. 2260m. The monastery is hidden in a very idyllic valley amid huge boulders of religious importance near a stream. It has a narrow waterhole in the rock near the monastery believed to be as deep as the huge Tsenden (cypress) tree nearby. The main ney is about half an hour above the monastery. It is about 4-5 hrs walk from Rigsum Gonpa and half an hour from or to the end of the farm road in Woogmanang valley. For international visitors it might be one of the most beautiful monasteries in Bhutan. There is a campsite along the trail across the Woogmanang river.

In the era of fast human-material encroachment, there are not many places like Dechen Phodrang left in Bhutan – which can be both a lifetime piritual sanctuary for seekers of inner peace or just one-day hike in a travel itinerary for those who are seeking the transitory bliss of being in wilderness of the far eastern Bhutan. Whatsoever, this is really a palace of great bliss hidden in the deep mountains. Especially, seeing the mountain peaks behind Dechen Phodrang in early spring will be in your indelible memories like the scenes we encountered in fantasy of Tolkien. They can be just spectacular and outlandish for all travellers.
