Pelkor Choede monastery
Pelkor Choede monastery was founded in 1418 by Rabten Kunsang who was the head of Gyangtse Dzong. The historic region generally corresponds to present-day counties. The castle was originally constructed by a grandson of king Langdarma, whose name was Pelkortsen. The Kor father of Rabten Kunsang expanded it during the time of the Pakmodru dynasty.
Rabten Kunsang was a Dharma practitioner, and he sponsored the construction of both the monastery and the large Kubum stupa. Pelkor Choede monastery has a main assembly hall in the centre, and in the past, there were 16 colleges around it
