Choedrak :

Choedrak, situated at an elevation of 3,800 meters on the northern ridge of Tharpaling. It is one of the Four Cliffs (Dra Zhi) associated with Guru Rinpoche, commanding the panoramic view of the entire Chumey valley. The remaining three cliffs—Shugdra in Choekhor, Kunzangdra on the way to Tang, and Thowadra in the Tang valley—are located in the Bumthang district of central Bhutan.

Legend has it that Guru Rinpoche arrived at the sacred Choedrak riding on a tigress, engaging in meditation akin to his spiritual practices at Paro Taktsang. Although Choedrak attained prominence in the 18th century when the esteemed Drukpa monk Ngawang Trinley from Punakha undertook the reconstruction of the monastery. Despite being recognized as Choje Drak, the site is commonly referred to as Choedrak.

Its beautiful white structures consist of two ancient chapels, separated by a sacred chorten and a spring. Thukje Lhakhang on the right houses a remarkable 1000-armed statue of Chenresig, while Lorepa Lhakhang holds Guru Rinpoche's stone footprint and the skull of a celestial being.
