Previously it was known as Lungthung Goenpa which was founded and constructed in 1471 by Kagyue Lam Kinzang Rinzin. His son Singye Dorji continued the lineage after his death. Singye Dorji had two sons known as Yoejur and Minjur. Of the two, Minjur migrated to Yemkhar village and constructed his own lhakhang. But Yoejur continued living at the Goenpa and continued the lineage. He has three daughters who are still alive. With no son to carry on the continuity of the lineage, the goenpa almost turned into ruins. Therefore, Tashigang dratsang and the Thrimshing gewog came together and relocated and reconstructed Tungkhar lhakhang in 2017 and relocated the goenpa’s nangtens to the new lhakhang. Now the Tashigang dratsang has started a shedra with 10 little monks with one Lam and one Lopen.
