The well spaced out structures and impressive arrangement of huge idols of Buddhist icons is certainly a great experience. Photographers will be delighted in capturing the colourful interiors and exterior murals.

Inside the main temple there are three big statues of Lord Buddha, Ametiyas and another guru. The golden statues present a breathtaking view. Coupled with the colorful paintings depicting mythological narratives , the main temple has very vibrant view.

Very disappointed as this must see attraction was closed when we visited in mid Feb due to Covid situation. We visited during our excursion to attractions of Kushal Nagar area like Dubare Camp & Nisargadham, but Bylakuppe Complex was closed & we could not visit this Mini Tibet of Coorg & its lovely Monstries.

Who would have known there is a beautiful monastery in a hill town of Karnataka. Once you're inside the monastery, the tibetan architecture makes you forget that you're in Coorg. The only & biggest drawback is that I went on Sunday and it gets heavily crowded with domestic tourists coming in from other cities of Karnataka & from Kerala on weekends. Really, takes the peace factor out of the monastery, but if you go on a weekday, you could have a calm experience. Also, do try the Kunphen Cafe inside the campus, they do good veg burgers.

Never imagined such a beautiful monastery in this part of India. Well, that's India I think - you have to expect the unexpected.
The history of this place is fascinating! So is the architecture and grandeur. There is a prevailing calmness amidst the huge crowd gathered inside the main worship hall where there are 3 huge statues.

This Monastry is located near Coorg district on Karnataka. Also known as the golden temple this place is really peaceful and beautiful. One can relax its soul while sitting there. A beautiful piece of architecture and a largest gurukul for the priests.

Worth the visit to a such a peaceful and beautiful place. The gardens are a treat, with both internal and external architecture breathtaking. Lots of little shops inside and outside the monastery boundary. Interesting reading about the background to this Tibetan area.

A place of quiet power and pleasantness.
Just that all Indian visitors are just rude and screaming and loud when the only request from visitors is to be quiet. Just missing the local tourist culture

Is this place open for visitors as of now January 2021? If I plan to visit on the 25th, do I have to go back disappointed?

We are planning to stop and visit the monastery as a part of our longer journey. What time does the monastery open... will we be able to visit if we reach there early, say by 7 am?

Yes they open early. Keep at least half a day for Namdroling. Buy 3 Khatta, the buddhist scarf to offer to the 3 Buddhas. When you have this, you are permitted to go till the foot of the statues otherwise you can see it only from a barricaded distance.

Hi, Mayurraj,
First of all 2 days is a short trip for a place like Coorg. But anyways its left for you people to decide.
Here is some information that might help:
Places to visit in Coorg:
1. Abbi Falls (Water would be less compared to rainy season).
2. Raja Seat.
3. Omkareshwara temple.
4. Talacauvery (must visit).
5. Bhagamandala temple (on the way to Talacauvery).
Places to visit in and around Monastery:
1. Nisargadhama.
2. Dubare Elephant Camp.
Have a good look of Coorg - a paradise in Karnataka.
Have a happy and safe journey
I am planning to visit namdroling monastery for 3-4 days. Where could I stay and Do I need to take any permission to get inside the monastery? Also I wanted to do meditation there . Is it possible?

Normally the people who are on a one day visit to monastery stay at Coorg but if you want to do meditation there then either you will have to stay at Kushalnagar or contact the monastery itself if you want to stay inside the monastery
P.S:- If someone says that Nothingness is the pinnacle of meditation then beware as the nihilists do not know that Nothingness is also a state of mind that is being illumined by that great Awareness(Consciousness).
Have a great time!
