Dzongdrakha Monastery, a short detour off the Paro-Chela La road houses three monasteries: Jongsarbu Lhakhang, Tsheringma Lhakhang, and Guru Lhakhang. Jongsarbu Lhakhang was founded in the 18th century by the meditation master Gyanpo Dorji. Tsheringma Lhakhang is dedicated to the goddess of longevity, and parents of newborn sons visit it to receive an auspicious name.
The Tshechu (festival) celebrated here marks the beginning of Paro Tshechu.
