Gyamda or Ngapo Zampa is a village in Gyamda County of the Tibet Autonomous Region of China on the upper Nyang River at an altitude of 3,200 metres.

The Neu Dechen Gon Monastery sits above the town. It is associated with the teaching of the late Dudjom Rinpoche (1904–1987) who died in France. He was the head of the Nyingmapa school in exile.

Nearby are the Tselha Namsum meditation caves associated with the female yogini Machig Labdrön (1005–1149).
