Tibetan Golden Temple is situated 90 kms away from Mysore City on the Mysore Madikeri Highway and just 1.5 km from Kushalnagar Town, is the largest Tibetan refugee camp housing more than 18000 Tibetans in exile. The Tibetans, over the last 45 years of exile, have recreated a mini Tibet in this village; their rich cultural heritage and zealous adherence to the ancient religious rituals have resulted in the sprouting of many mammoth and fascinating monasteries depicting the different facets of Buddhism. More than 7000 monks called ‘Lamas’ pursue their monastic education in these monasteries, with steadfast veneration to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, as their supreme master.

Fascinating shopping marts selling ethnic Tibetan artifacts and modern fashion wares and the ancient Tibetan herbal medical therapy, beckon the tourist and has rendered this village an inescapable tourist destination. Very comfortable accommodations at affordable rates are available in the camp and in Kushalnagar town.
