Neche Goshog Monastery

TIME : 2016/2/17 11:58:31

This small, golden-roofed Bön monastery was rebuilt in 2008 after being gutted in a fire. It’s home to around 25 monks and is famous for a 2000-year-old juniper tree that is sacred to Bönpos. The manicured courtyard includes a small side shrine dedicated to the Bön founder Tonpa Shenrab. The monastery is about 17km east of Bāyī, on your right just before you reach the town of Nyingtri.
