Kilung Lhakhang, Lhuentse Overview

Situated at about 20 mins away from the small village of Kilung, the Kilung Lhakhang is a sacred temple with a very rich history. It is located over a ridge above Kurichhu River. The inhabitants of the village are called Tshanglas who've been migrated during the 1880s. The Lhakhang is a proud owner of a chain that was used to capture a statue believed to have flown away from the Lhuentse Dzong. It is a very beautifully constructed monastery and very popular among the locals.
