Tango Monastery (14 km. north of Thimphu, near Cheri Mountain) – this monastery was built in the 13th century. From the base point at Dodena, it’s an enjoyable one hour walk uphill to Tango. Tourists can visit the monastery and attend a special prayer ceremony at the monastery. Tango is presently the residence of the 7th reincarnate of the 4th Desi (Temporal ruler) of Bhutan, Gyalse Tenzin Rabgye.
