Monastries
Bomdila' three Tibetan Monasteries reflect the origin and culture of the local people and its proximity to Tibet. The Dalai Lama inaugurated the largest of these, a Gelugpa Gompa high above the town, in October 1997. One can ask the caretaker monk for a tour of the monastery including the small suite of rooms making up the Dalai Lama's private residential quarters. The rooftop also offers superb views of the town and the surrounding mountains.

An older Gompa houses a large statue of the blue Medicine Buddha, on whom healers focus their meditations; the third Gompa stands at the end of the main market street in the middle of the town.
