Overview
Jambay Lhakhang was built in the 7th century by Tibetan King, Songtsen Gampo. The monastery is one of the many (108 to be precise) built by the King in this part of the Himalayas. One of the most spectacular festivals in the country, called Jambay lhakhang Drup is hosted here. The festival lasts for five days and the main highlight is the fire ritual that is held in the evening where crowds gather to witness the ritualistic naked dance.
