Nimalung Goemba:

Just outside of Domkhar, there is a 500 meter road where the people from Chhume have settled. If you continue along this road, you will eventually reach Zhungney. However, before reaching Zhungney, there is a paved road that leads to the Nimalung Goemba, which is about 3.5 kilometers away. This monastery was founded in 1935 by Dorling Trulku and is an important Nyingma monastery.

Inside the monastery, on the ground floor, there is a special chapel with a statue of Drolma (Tara). This statue is housed within an amulet that was brought all the way from Tibet. If you go behind the altar, you can see the black hats that are used during the three-day Tshechu, which is typically held in July (fifith month of Bhutanese Calendar). There is also a large metal box in front of the altar that contains a Thongdrol, which represents the eight manifestations of Guru Rinpoche. On the upper floor of the monastery, you will find the Goenkhang, and it is common to see the monks playing khuru outside. If you walk downhill for about 15 minutes, you will reach the Prakhar Goemba.
