Gom Kora

Gom Kora, actually Gomphu Kora (Gomphu meaning Mediation Place and Kora -Circumambulation). It was believed that once Guru Rinpoche meditated here leaving behind his body impression on the rock later building a temple to this spot.  The temple was built in 17th century by Minjur Tempa, above the large rock with meditation cave underneath. There are many relics inside this two-storey temple and the murals are said to date from its original construction period. The pilgrims revere it as a sacred power place and circumambulate the meditation cave. It is located at a distance of 24 km away from Trashigang town, set on a small alluvial plateau overlooking the river surrounded by rice fields and clumps of banana trees, it looks like an oasis.
