ABOUT US

Thowadrak is located on the mountain face of the upper Tang valley of Bumthang Dzongkhag. During the time of Kunkhyen Jigme Lingpa, the present Thowadrak is said to have been known as Thadrak. When Jigme Lingpa’s close disciple Jigme Kundrol was meditating at Thowadrak, the exchange of letters relating to question and answer on meditation aspects took place between Jigme Kundrol and his Master (Jigme Lingpa) back in Tibet. It is in these letters that the place is mentioned as Thadrak; however, later it became known as Thowa Drak since it is located on the high mountain top surrounded by pristine natural environment overlooking entire Tang valley.
