We visited this buddhist monastery on a saturday afternoon and it was crowded. The place was very nice and must see if you are visiting coorg. Better to go on a weekday if you want to spend time peacefully. Shopping available in the temple premises and reasonable.

A peaceful and highly recommended place to visit when in Coorg. The namdroling monastery is located at kushalnagar in Coorg.
The place is calm, serene and perfect for meditating. The chanting monks sound so peaceful.
The place has a school, toilet and even eateries with Tibetan food available.
Outside the monastery, there is a small Tibetan shopping complex. This place has clothes, magnets, statues, bags etc.

Good place, we can watch the Tibetan traditions and Buddhism. Nearby we can explore their camps and authentic Tibetan foods and handicrafts.

I visited here early morning, from the Hotel I stayed the previous day at Kusalnagar. This morning mist elevates the beauty of this place to next level. Even the breeze there brushes with its divinity. The architectural beauty is aslo alluring.

View is breathtaking. Having snack with my friends with calming environment. Evergreen spot to have snacks and chill.

The place is very soothing with great sculptures and paintings adorning the walls. The statues are huge and magnificent. There are keep silence boards across but junta conveniently ignores those. Could be a much better experience without unwanted noise. There is a small market outside the temple where you can pick small memorabilia, gifts magnets etc.

It is a Tibetan settlement in south india. Excellent place to visit. Tibetan monks and Tibetan style buildings. This is entirely different from South culture.

വീട്ടിൽ വെറുതെ ഇരുന്നപ്പോൾ പെട്ടെന്നു തോന്നിയൊരു ആഗ്രഹമായിരുന്നു. ഒരു ബുദ്ധ മൊണാസ്ട്രിയാണ് കാണണമെന്നത്. ഗൂഗിൾ നോക്കിയപ്പോൾ. കർണാടകയിൽ ബൈലക്കുപ്പയിൽ
എന്ന സ്ഥലത്ത് ഒരു മൊണാസ്ട്രി ഉണ്ടെന്നറിഞ്ഞു. രണ്ടുദിവസം കഴിഞ്ഞ് ട്രെയിനിലും ബസിലും ആയി അവിടേക്ക് യാത്രതിരിച്ചു. ഒറ്റയ്ക്ക് ഇതു പോലുള്ള സ്ഥലങ്ങളിൽ യാത്ര ചെയ്യുന്നത് മനസ്സിൽ മായാത്ത ഒരനുഭവം തന്നെയാണ്.
മൈസൂരിൽ നിന്ന് 87 കിലോമീറ്റർ അകലെ, സുവർണ്ണ ക്ഷേത്രം ബൈലക്കുപ്പയിൽ സ്ഥിതി ചെയ്യുന്ന മനോഹരമായ ബുദ്ധ മൊണാസ്ട്രിയാണ്. ധർമ്മശാല കഴിഞ്ഞാൽ ഇന്ത്യയിലെ രണ്ടാമത്തെ വലിയ ടിബറ്റൻ ജനവാസ കേന്ദ്രമാണ് ബൈലക്കുപ്പ്. കൂർഗിലെ ഏറ്റവും പ്രശസ്തമായ വിനോദസഞ്ചാര കേന്ദ്രങ്ങളിലൊന്നാണ് ഈ ബുദ്ധവിഹാരം. മൊണാസ്ട്രിയാണ് ഇവിടുത്തെ പ്രധാന ടൂറിസ്റ്റ് ആകർഷണം. ഗോൾഡൻ ടെമ്പിൾ എന്ന് പ്രസിദ്ധമായി അറിയപ്പെടുന്ന ഈ മൊണാസ്ട്രിയ 1963 -ൽ ആണ് സ്ഥാപിച്ചത്.

സുവർണ്ണ ക്ഷേത്ര സമുച്ചയം വളരെ വലുതാണ്, അതിൽ 40 അടി ഉയരമുള്ള ഗുരു പത്മസംഭവ (ഗുരു റിൻപോച്ചെ എന്നും അറിയപ്പെടുന്നു), ബുദ്ധ ശാക്യമുനി, അമിതായുസ് എന്നിവരുടെ സ്വർണ്ണനിറമുള്ള ചിത്രങ്ങൾ ഉണ്ട്. ക്ഷേത്രഗോപുരം വളരെ അലങ്കാരമാണ്. പുറം ഭിത്തികൾ വലിയ വർണ്ണാഭമായ ചുവർച്ചിത്രങ്ങൾ കൊണ്ട് അലങ്കരിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു. ചുവപ്പ് നിറമുള്ള വാതിലുകൾക്ക് വലിയ സ്വർണ്ണ മുട്ടുകളും കട്ടിയുള്ള കയറും തൂക്കിയിട്ടിരിക്കുന്നു. ടിബറ്റൻ ബുദ്ധമത പുരാണങ്ങളിൽ നിന്നുള്ള ദേവന്മാരെയും അസുരന്മാരെയും ചിത്രീകരിക്കുന്ന വർണ്ണാഭമായ പെയിന്റിംഗുകൾ ചുവരുകളിൽ അലങ്കരിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു. വിദേശത്തുനിന്നും ധാരാളം വിനോദസഞ്ചാരികളെ ആകർഷിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നു. നൂറുകണക്കിന് ബുദ്ധ സന്യാസിമാർ മതപരമായ ആചാരങ്ങൾ ചെയ്യുന്നതും ഉറക്കെ പ്രാർത്ഥിക്കുന്നതും കാണുന്നത് ഒരു ആവേശകരമായ കാഴ്ചയാണ്.
ഈ സ്ഥലം ശാന്തവും ഗംഭീരവുമായ കാഴ്ചയാണ്, ചുറ്റുമുള്ള പൂന്തോട്ടങ്ങളാൽ ചുറ്റപ്പെട്ടിരിക്കുന്നു.

സമയം: 9 AM - 6 PM, പ്രാർത്ഥന 1 PM- ന് ആണ്, പ്രാർത്ഥന കാണുന്നത് ഒരു അത്ഭുതകരമായ അനുഭവമാണ്.

Namdroling, Bylakuppe, Mysore, Karnataka India

This was a wonderful experience mentally and spiritually, even visually. Over all a tranquil feel. We meditated at this place, it would have been a regret if we did not visit this monastery. The people there are so quiet and they probably do not like taking photos but I couldn't resist taking them.beautiful evening we had.

Peaceful Make sure to spend some peaceful time. Just forget everything and be there for a while beautiful evening we had.

Beautifully built and maintained monastery in Tibetan settlement area located off Mysore- Madikeri highway.
It is really worth to visit this place, you get the feeling as you reached in Tibet or other Buddhist area. Entry is free.
Paid parking facility is near by.
There are some good restaurants too for authentic Tibetan dishes. (not every one is good)

This place is closed from a year since covid has started, locals said there are thousands of kids studying there due to which outsiders are not allowed so that they can be kept covid free.
So kindly don't go even though you go they won't allow you inside

It looks like a beautiful place but we were not able to go inside as its closed until further notice because of covid.
You can shop for small artifacts near the monastery and even enjoy Tibetan food.

Situated at 34 km distance from Coorg district, Namdroling Monastery is a popular spiritual centre and also among the best place in Coorg. This place is amongst Mysore’s largest teaching centres where you learn every aspect of Tibetan Buddhism. Amongst locals, this shrine is famous as the Golden Temple. The architecture of Namdroling Monastery is as attractive as its spiritual significance. You will witness some finest quality architectural and artwork styles. The elegance of the temple tower blends perfectly with the ornate outer walls. Finally, there are beautiful murals to add the finishing touch.

Visited during Pre Covid scenario. Excellent infrastructure and sculpture of Tibetan Buddhism in India

Visited on 29th Dec and it was closed indefinitely due to covid.don't waste your time, skip this for now.request the authorities to put a notice about temple closure on the highway, so that tourists can avoid travelling 3-4 kms inside unnecessarily.

Beautiful and one can able to see whole different type of architecture over here. Religious place.

Just feel the peace once you enter the monastery. Nicely maintained. Highly recommended. Just don’t fall trap to the sovereign stores, you should have good bargaining skills as they ask for ridiculous prices.

Such a peaceful place. We couldn't get inside due to covid-19. Anyway next time will sure visit inside the monastery

Place looks great but unfortunately the entry is closed due to covid, at least till mid Feb 2021.few shops and restaurants around are open.

The kind of place that gives you peace of mind. The place is spread across a large swathe of land in the beautiful town of Bylakuppe. You reach here and find tranquility in overdose, for people from the cities this works as an ideal getaway. The beautifully manicured garden leading to the sanctum are a sight to behold.

The wave of serenity which one experiences stepping into the main temple and pray area is a thing to cherish for an entire lifetime. The monks are very friendly and help with any kind of queries, an attendant at the shoe depository station provides you with all kind of answers for anything that you need to know.

Heading out of the main sanctum is a little town with beauty in abundance, from lush green fields growing supari, rice, sugarcane and spinach the town of Bylakuppe is very mesmerising, I don't think barring a few hours in the afternoon it experiences any kind of discomfort due to heat. Please make a trip at the earliest.

The place itself makes us feel like we are in Tibet. We weren't able to get into the temple. As I visited during the time of Covid Pandemic (27 December 2020). No one were allowed to get into the temple. But had a lot to see throughout the way. Tibetan Culture way flying in throughout the way. The schools, people, shops and everything had a Tibetan Touch.

Temple is good but it is still closed due to covid.
I visited the temple on 25th Dec 2020

Temple is peaceful and good, maintained neat and tidy. I have visited many times. But now it is closed due to covid.
