Omba Ney

One of the most sacred places blessed by Guru Rinpoche but visited by only a few.  It is just like Paro Taktshang located on the cliff. It is about two hours walk from Tshangpuchel Pry. School Trashiyangtse Dzongkhag. One can also walk uphill from Kheni too.
It is said that, “ Guru Rinpoche while taming and subduing demons at Tibet, one of the demons ran away through the place. The demon ran further near Gomphu Cora, Guru stopped the demon by throwing the (torma) religious cake on the way of the demon. The stone shaped torma is still visible in the middle of the Tashigang/Trashiyangtse highway. The demon could not escape further more beyond the torma. Guru then went down towards Goongja (Present Gongza Ney) blessed the place and subdued the demon at a place where today Gomphu Cora is Located. Guru then went back to ‘Omba Ney’ and meditated there and concealed the treasures which will be discovered by the tertons (Treasure Revealer) in the future.”


Below the sacred place there is also cave where Guru and Khando Yeshey Tshogyal meditated. Imprint of Jachung (Garuda) and dungkar (Conch) is visible in the cave where the Khando meditated.
