Ogyen Choling Palace
ཨོ་རྒྱན་ཆོས་གླིང
A noble manor at the far end of the Tang Valley. Home to descendants of Pema Lingpa since the 16th century, it is now a family museum showing the life of Bhutanese aristocrats.
Ogyen Choling sits on a hillside at the end of the Tang Valley, about 1 hour's drive from Membar Tso, with the final stretch on a dirt road. The manor was built in the 16th century and rebuilt after the 1897 earthquake. Its utse tower has been turned into a museum displaying ritual implements, kitchen utensils and legal documents, clearly showing how an aristocratic household operated in the past. Admission is about 150 ngultrum. The manor also has guest rooms, so you can stay a night and experience mountain village life.
