About Chimi L Hakhang Temple

One of the most revered temples of Bhutan, Chimi L’hakhang is considered as the temple of fertility, dedicated to Lama Drukpa Kuenley, popularly known as the Divine Madman. Lama Drukpa Kuenley is a legendary saint in Bhutan, who is much revered in the country but because of his unusual way of teaching, he is considered an eccentric.

People from all across the country come to the temple to pray for children. The couples visiting the temple are sanctified with a wooden phallus, the imitation of the saint’s iron bow and arrows and his scriptures. Surrounded by the abundant paddy fields this temple is a must visit.

The view of the Punatsang Chhu river from our hotel in Wangdue was simply spectacular. It was an amazing experience waking up to that scenery. The property selection was excellent; we highly recommend this package for a mix of adventure and comfort.
