The village Korphu is believed to be founded by Guru Rinpoche the Second Buddha. Legends say that when Guru Rinpoche reconciled Gyab Sindu Raja and Nachoe (Big Nose) who were initially fighting, they signed a pact on the stone still present in Nabji.
Great treasures were also discovered in the late 15th century by Terton Pema Lingpa.
