Talo Monastery ༼རྟ་ལོག་དགོན་པ༽ is a three-story Buddhist monastery located on the hills above Punakha at an elevation of 2800m.[1] It is the most important and sacred monastery in Bhutan since it is directly connected to the successive mind manifestations of Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal.[1] It is commonly known as Talo Goenpa or Talo Sangngak Choling Monastery.
It was founded by Chogtul Jigme Singye, the fourth reincarnation of Lam Thripa in 1767.[1][2]
