Among the many places of interest in the city of Dibrugarh is the Namphake village at a distance of about 37 kms from the city centre. The village has grown into an exotic heritage centre attracting tourist from different parts of the world, making it a living museum with all its salient features. This uncommon village was setup in 1850. They have been unaffected from the outside world and have maintained the purity of their distinct culture.
The river Burhidihing a tributary of mighty Brahmaputra river, flows along Namphake village, making it a picturesque village. There is a beautiful Buddhist Monastery located in the village. The monastery is considered to be a meditation centre and is also developed as a famous tourist spot in the village. The serene surrounding and the unique structure of the place makes it a popular attraction for visitors. The village is also a home for many Tai Phake families. These people are followers of Buddhism and their beliefs are very strong in this regard. As soon as you enter the temple, a golden statue of Lord Buddha welcomes you. The village also has an Ashokan Pillar and a Bddhist Pagoda (a pyramidal tower with an upward curving roof). Near the pillar, a stilt house called a Chaitya-Grihaa was constructed.

The holy water pond inside the temple is named as Mucalinda and is considered to be of great importance. About 150 Phakial families, which reside in this village, have kept their unique identity, traditional customs and rituals alive.
