The Neu Dechen Gon Monastery sits above the town. It is associated with the teaching of the late Dudjom Rinpoche[2] (1904–1987) who died in France. He was the head of the Nyingmapa school in exile.
Nearby are the Tselha Namsum meditation caves associated with the female yogini Machig Labdrön (1005–1149).[3]
