Namgyal Monastery

The Namgyal Monastery in Mcleodganj, the largest Tibetan temple outside of Tibet, is thought to be the place where the Dalai Lama, the head of the Tibetan people, resides. Even people who are not inclined towards this faith can be drawn in by the atmosphere and serenity that this location fosters in the minds of its guests. The Namgyal Monastery is often referred to as Dalai Lama's Temple as it is the personal monastery of the 14th Dalai Lama.

The second Dalai Lama established Namgyal Monastery in the 16th century, intending for the monks to assist him in religious matters. The monks who live here at the monastery engage in practices that benefit Tibet and collaborate as a group.
