- Description

Hungri Monastery lies between Silnon and Yuksam. History:Earlier the Lepcha Lamas established it with a small Lhakhang. Later, it was dismantled and upon the same site, a new monastery was erected as a branch monastery of Pemayangtse in 1922 by Tamatam Lama who was a Ponlob deputed from Pemayangtse Monastery.The Gonpa retains the stone walls and is one of the very few Gonpa retaining such type of structure. An interesting thing to see in this gonpa is a small stone Altar attached to the right exterior wall of the Gonpa, which is dedicated to the Serpant God Lunag Thana Tenzing.
