Nepal

Nepal’s most interesting monasteries

Mountains & Monasteries: A Solu Explorer

Myths, mountains, monasteries…magnificent!

The Solu area of Nepal boasts beautiful views of Everest and Shorung Yu La, the holiest mountain to the Solu Sherpas, and some of Nepal’s most interesting monasteries. Trekking on routes with few tourists you’ll climb to Chiwong Monastery, then on to Junbesi, site of the first of Rural Educations and Development’s libraries.

After visiting the town, we hike to Tuptencholing, the most important monastery in the area, then up to Dudh Kund, a 16,000 foot glacial lake, an important pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists, and then travel on to Phaplu and Kathmandu.
