Gompa Samba

Gompa Samba means "new monastery". It is believed that founder of this monastery Syandol Lama came from Tibet. Originally this monastery was a big hostel for lamas that later collapsed and people of Khinga and Jharkot jointly reconstructed it. The main deities of this monastery are Sakyamuni, Chingresig & Guru Rimpoche. The monastery is situated at the left from the main entrance gate of Muktinath temple complex.

Anila(Buddhist nuns) of Khinga and Jharkot take care of the cultural heritage inside Muktinath temple complex. Photography & filming of the deities inside any monasteries and temple is strictly prohibited.
