Arrive at the Namdroling Monastery, the largest teaching center of the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism in the world.

Explore the grand architecture of the monastery, which features traditional Tibetan design with striking golden roofs, ornate carvings, and intricate murals. The main prayer hall, known as the Golden Temple, houses three colossal statues of Buddha, Avalokiteshvara, and Padmasambhava, each intricately decorated and surrounded by vibrant frescoes depicting Tibetan Buddhist legends and teachings.
Immerse yourself in the serene atmosphere of the monastery. Observe the daily monastic activities, such as prayer rituals and ceremonial chanting, which are performed with deep reverence and spiritual dedication. The tranquil environment, complemented by the gentle sound of prayer bells and the scent of incense, offers a peaceful retreat from the city.
Drive back to Bangalore at 6 PM, enjoying the picturesque countryside and rural landscapes during your return journey. The scenic drive offers a chance to reflect on the day's experiences. Upon arrival, you will be dropped off at your hotel around 9 PM, concluding your enriching and immersive day trip to one of India's key Tibetan Buddhist centers.
