Tagchu Goenpa is the seat for many important occasions and festivals. Further above the monastery is a rock that is said to resemble a tiger from where the water erupts; hence, the name Tagchu (Tag means tiger & chu means water).

The principal relics of the monastery are Tshepame (Amitayus or the God of countless life), Guru Rinpoche, Dorji Chang (Vajradhara), Chenrizig (Avaloketeshvara), Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal and Tamdrin (Hayagriva). It also houses religious texts such as Kanjur (translated words of the Buddha) and Tenjur (translated commentaries on the words of the Buddha).

The monastery was established in the 20th century in the Lungse Kha village under Haa Dzongkhag by Dali Lama Sangay Jamtsho. Tagchu Goenpa is located on top of the hill with good view of Haa valley. From Shelkardra, one has to walk further uphill towards Tagchu Goenpa. There is plenty of photo opportunity on the way.
