Located at Namphung village, East Sikkim is a Manilakhang which was first a small Lhakhang built
by Lama Tseten in 1913 A.D. Later, in 2004 the old structure was dismantled and
replaced by a bigger structure by the Gonpa Committee from contributions from the
villagers. The Nampung Manilakhang can be reached by taking a diversion road from
main Lingdok road. The land for the Manilakhang was donated by Shri Gyaltsen
Kazi.
