The Chuwar Gadhen Drophen Ling Monastery was first established in Lamabagar, Nepal, which is located near the border of Tibet. However, due to safety concerns caused by the insurgency in Nepal, the monastery was later relocated to Kathmandu. During this period, a significant number of monks in the monastery were newly arrived refugees from Tibet. Many of these refugees were young and eager to obtain a modern education and learn more about Tibetan language and culture, which were not accessible to them in Tibet. Currently, the monastery is home to about 29 monks.
