Just a gentle twenty minute stroll along the valley from Jampey, much larger more impressive and with some interesting architectural details.  The usual gobbledegook of Guru Padmakara's body imprinted  in solid rock plus a cleft in the rock which, if you can crawl through, your sins are left behind...

...and in the central temple, the inevitable Buddha statues with Avalokiteshvara in one if his manifestations, Shakyamuni Buddha in one of his manifestations, some other Buddha in one of his manifestations...tra la la!

Oh, and to save you counting them, yes, you guessed right, 108 stupas around the courtyard wall.
