The Golden Temple of Namdroling Monastery is one of the most popular tourist spots in Kodagu. This monastery is located approximately 18 kilometres from The Birchwood Retreat and can be covered in a 31-minute drive. This monastery is the largest learning centre that teaches the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. His Holiness Peno Rinpoche was responsible for the construction of this marvellous structure. It took 4 years for the construction of The Golden Temple to be completed and it opened its doors way back in 1999. The incredible landscape surrounding this monastery was not only a humble offering to the Three Jewels but also an attempt to bring peace and calm to the minds of the visitors.
