Spiritual Bhutan

Gom Kora

 

24 km. from Trashigang, the temple of Gom Kora is set on a small alluvial plateau overlooking the Dangmechu river. Surrounded by rice fields and clumps of banana trees, it looks like an oasis in an arid landscape. It is one of the famous places where Guru Rinpoche meditated in order to subdue a demon which dwelt in a huge black rock. An annual tshechu held for three days in spring (20th to 22nd March) draws a lot of attraction with pilgrims coming as far as from Arunachal Pradesh, India.
