The Jangchubling Lhakhang is located on a hillock in Gangzur geog in Kurtoe. It is 17 km from Dzongkhang administration and is a four hour trek from Lhuentse Dhungkar feeder road. This is another monastery that is definitely worth paying a visit. It was founded in the 18th century by Pekar Gyatso and until recently was under the patronage of the 16th Karmapa Rangjung Rigpe Dorji.

At the age of 27, Pekar Gyatso traveled to Trongsa and from there further east to Kurtoe. At Jangchubling, he built a small shrine and two stupas. In the 1940s Her Royal Highness, the late Ashi Wangmo, who became a nun and led a religious life sponsored the establishment of a Shedra, a centre for Buddhist teachings at Jangchubling.

With guidance from the 16th Karmapa, Ashi Wangmo was instrumental in transforming the sacred temple to its present grandeur. She administered the construction of the existing main Lhakhang and named it as Dargay Choling Lhakhang.

Later, because of the Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1959, the great Lamas of Tibet had to seek sanctuary outside Tibet. The 16th Gyalwa Karmapa under whose guidance Ashi Wangmo had been practicing Buddhism had to flee towards Bhutan. Ashi Wamgmo invited her root guru to Jangchubling Gonpa, since then Kamtshang Kagyu has been flourishing from monastery. But now there are monks belonging to the Drukpa Kagyu sect with a Lama looking after the monastic affairs.

The na bza’(dress), leather boot and cap of 16th Karmapa, cup and rosary of previous Situ Rinpoche among other numerous precious relics including a statue of Tshepamey, the main relic, can be seen there.
