Kurjey Lhakang, also known as the Kurjey Monastery, is located in the Bumthang valley in the Bumthang district of Bhutan. This is the final resting place of the remains of the first three Kings of Bhutan.[1] Also, a large tree behind one of the temple buildings is believed to be a terma that was left there by Padmasambhava.
