A
visit to Rigsum gonpa monastery under Bumdeling Gewog needs stamina to walk for
more than hours where we took more than four hours walking through the woods. If
one starts journey early in the morning towards gonpa, then one might return
back on the same day. One of the best memories of the visit is that one of the dogs
met on the way guide us to the lhakhang where we grasp beautiful scenery of the
lhakhang from the view point. Gonpa lies on top of the mountain with cold winds
around and one could observe beautiful mountain peaks covered with snow.
A journey to Dechen phodrang starts from Yangtse town following Seb farm road towards the Woming na. Walk from the bridge leads to the Dechen phodrang lhakhang where one could notice lovely scenery with the small streams and gigantic holy rocks.
A way to Gongza nye starts from Doksum but from the end of road point, one have to walk by the riverside and it took more than hour to reach there through the path. One of the good timing of the visit is that if you visit in winter you could see all the holy rocks and stones of unique shapes lying by the side of the river but all of those stones will be submerged during the summer.
Gom Kora is located just below the highway on the way towards yangtse. There were holy rocks with important significance and relics too. Kapaling Lhakhang is located above Gom Kora about 10-15 minute walk from the highway.
