Ngor Ewam Chöden Monastery (ངོར་ཨེ་ཝཾ་ཆོས་ལྡན་, Wyl. ngor e waM chos ldan) — an important Sakya monastery, and seat of the Ngor subschool, established by Ngorchen Kunga Zangpo around 1430. The monastery was named Ngor Ewam Chöden because during construction Ngorchen Kunga Zangpo dreamt that the whole collection of dharma arises from the letters E (་ཨེ) and WAM (་ཝཾ་). Before being completely demolished during the Chinese invasion, it was a very active monastery, counting about 1,000 monks in the 1950s. It has only been partly reconstructed.

- Thartse (ཐར་རྩེ་, thar rtse) and
