Dzagyal Monastery (Wyl.rdza rgyal dgon) was founded by the First Dodrupchen Jikme Trinle Özer and Jikme Gyalwe Nyugu in the Dzachukha area. It became the main seat of Jikme Gyalwe Nyugu and his famous disciple Patrul Rinpoche. Later, it became the home of Kunzang Dechen Dorje (Pema Kunzang) (the immediate reincarnation of Jikme Gyalwe Nyugu), and of Patrul Namkha Jikmé, a son of Dudjom Lingpa, who visited the place twice.

In 1878, Khyentse Tulku Dzamling Wangyal, son of Dudjom Lingpa, went with his father to Dzagyal Monastery to receive teachings from Kunzang Dechen Dorje (Pema Kunzang).
More recently, Khandroma Kunzang Wangmo, the daughter Patrul Namkha Jikmé renovated the buildings of Dzagyal Monastery, including the main temple, and oversaw the construction of a monastic college, shedra, where monks could pursue higher education.
