On the approach to the temple, this excellent museum showcases temple treasures like replicas of the scriptures, Buddhist art and other artefacts, including a collection of ritual vajra (dorje); there's even a temple downstairs. It is a short walk from the main road, while the temple itself is a further kilometre up the hillside.
