Zangdok Palri Monastery or Zang Dhok Palri Phodang is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery of the Nyingma school, located at Kalimpong in West Bengal, India. The monastery was founded by Dudjom Rinpoche in 1957^[1] and built where Dudjom Rinpoche settled while in exile from Tibet, atop Durpin Hill. It represents Guru Rinpoche's palace, the Glorious Copper Colored Mountain.^[1][2] In 1975, Dudjom Rinpoche then moved from Kalimpong to Nepal,^[3] and the monastery was additionally consecrated in 1976 by the visiting Dalai Lama.

A series of important Nyingma school lineage transmissions given by Dudjom Rinpoche to the Tibetan exile communities were first held at Zangdok Palri in 1961.^[1][4] The monastery houses many rare Tibetan Buddhist and specifically Nyingma lineage texts that were brought by Dudjom Rinpoche into Sikkim, India, then moved to Kalimpong^[1] after the invasion of Tibet by China in 1949/1950. It also houses the 108 volumes of the Buddhist Kangyur translated into Tibetan. It is popularly known as the Durpin Monastery, and the view from the hill-top is breathtaking.

Dudjom Rinpoche was gifted another monastery in Kalimpong, the Jangsa Dechen Choling Monastery, where he trained lamas and students.^[1] The Jangsa Gompa was built in 1692 by the government of Bhutan,^[5] when Bhutan controlled Kalimpong, and was gifted to Dudjom Rinpoche by Bhutan's Queen Mother Choying Wangmo in the 1960s.^[1]
