About the building

This seventeenth-century Tibetan-style monastery fell into disrepair after its resident monks left in the 1970s. Restoration Works International worked with the Chhairo community on its recovery and concluded its commitment in 2016.

The project

Verify present maintenance and monastic-community priorities; the documented restoration and volunteer programme are historical.
