Bumthang Phok lhakhang was built against the cliff face site where Guru Rinpoche is believed to have once mediated. According to the caretaker Sonam (2021), it is said the lhakhang was built by Gyalwa Lhanangpa in the 13th century. It is orally said that Drupthop Melong Dorji and Zhabdrung Rinpocho’s father Tempai Nima are said to have visited the site. It was damaged by the earthquake several times with minor damages. However, the lhakhang was dilapidated, and in the 20th century, it was completely razed to the ground by a fire but the relics were retrieved safely. After the fire incident, Chojam lama Pema Tshewang undertook the renovation work and his son Wangdi is said to have painted the painting on the wall. The holy water below the site is believed to have naturally formed after the statute of Buddha was found (Sonam, 2021). On the left side, there is a cave which was the mediation site of Guru with remains of the foot imprints. The demon who harmed the livestock was subdued and is said to have transformed himself into a snake and on the rock which can be seen today.
