About 5 kms from Kushalnagar is the Namdroling Tibetan Monastery,  popularly known as the Golden Temple. It is very well maintained and one feels at peace with this world.  It is a very big monastry, with very well laid out buildings  and fully landscaped.  Statue inside the Golden Temple.

Teaching classes inside the Sera. You can drive there from Bangalore by your own car—a five hour journey--or from Mysore, which takes around two hours.
