Across the valley of the Peltang-chu river, Trangu monastery dominates the scenery south of Jyekundo. Visit the monastery, get in touch with the monks, and enjoy the views.
It did not take long to reach the artificial lake from Jyekundo: the driver turned left and after a short drive we arrived at a square with buildings on several sides. The square looked empty, bar a couple of dogs, but when I entered the assembly hall, it was clear why. It was full of monks in their dark red robes, curiously looking at the intruder in their impressively decorated temple. Originally founded in the 12th century, Trangu monastery is the seat of Trangu Rinpoche, prominent lama of the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism.
