Giving the name to the town, Jyekundo Dondrubling sites on a hill high above the trading town of Jyekundo and is like a small town in its own right.
Jyekundo monastery, easily visible from the town, sits on a high hill. The monastery was established in the 14th century and is the very raison d'être of Jyekundo itself, which was built around it over the centuries. When I stepped around the main building, all was quiet, and I had a splendid view over the small village built around the monastery here. I first visited the prayer hall, which was actually being used - the quiet and peaceful murmur of the monks floated out to my ears.
