History
Druk Sangag Choeling ("The Dharma Garden of the Drukpa's Secret Mantrayana") was founded by Kunkhyen Pema Karpo (1527-1592 CE), the fourth Gyalwang Drukpa, in 1515, and expanded by the fifth Gyalwang Drukpa, Gyalwang Pagsam Wangpo (1593-1641). It is one of the main entrances to the Tsari pilgrimage route.
It was rebuilt just 4 km from Darjeeling, India
