A brightly coloured town of the Tibetan highlands, Tagong holds a very old lamasery where you can spend hours exploring the out- and inside of this remarkable and peaceful monastery.
We had been driving a long way that day, the rain pouring down on the roof of our car; the fact that we did not go out was not so bad in this weather. We stopped briefly at a crossroads where we had a glimpse of some Tibetan nomads, and shortly afterwards arrived at Tagong. After first having a look around, watching as Tibetans walked around the religious complex clockwise to turn the prayer wheels, we entered the courtyard of Tagong monastery. Also called Lhagang Gompa, this monastery is said to have been built in the 17th century, during the Qing dynasty.
