Tshangkha Lhakhang is located on the Thimphu – Trongsa highway under Tshangkha gewog. The lhakhang is a five-minute walk from the national highway. The place where the present temple stands was said to have been blessed by Lopen Golay from Tshangkha. Lopen Golay was a highly-learned monk who gained wisdom and power through mantras from Mindroling monastery in Tibet.  In 1701, Choezang who served as the Trongsa Chamberlain was the first to construct a building on the holy site. The temple provides a venue for both social and religious gatherings of the Tshangkha community.
