Zhaji Temple

It distinguishes itself as a less-touristed site, providing a more authentic experience of local Tibetan religious life. The temple is known for its lively atmosphere on Wednesdays, when many pilgrims gather to worship, socialize, and partake in traditional beverages like beer and chang. Entrance to the temple is generally free, except during major festival days. Locals consider it a particularly auspicious place to pray for good fortune.
