Not far from Chowrasta is this colorful monastery, with Kanchenjunga providing a spectacular backdrop. Originally a branch of the Nyingmapa sect's Phodang monastery in Sikkim, it was transferred to Darjeeling in 1879. The shrine here originally stood on Observatory Hill. There is a library of buddhist texts upstairs which houses the original copy of the Tibetan Book of the Dead.
