Perched atop an improbable sliver of rocky outcrop, this tiny 1790 monastery is often closed but is worth the 10-minute near-vertical climb from the main Markha Valley trail for a feeling of being in an eagle's nest amid the rocky spires. It's ten minutes' walk east of the bridge that crosses back to the north bank of the river, another ten minutes from the ford where you wade across from the Markha side. Umlung (Umblung) is 25 minutes further east.
