Hike to Yungdrungling Monastery

 

This is the preferable way to get to Yungdrungling Monastery. Our driving pulled off the Friendship Highway and parked near an awesome stone suspension bridge. Vehicles cannot cross this. The bridge crosses a tributary that feeds into Yarlung Tsangpo. Once across the bridge follow this road to the right. It is mostly used by sheep and carts pulled by Yaks. When the monastery Kora comes into view, there is a side trail on the left that will take you to the monastery, Along this trail you will see the ruins from the destruction during the cultural revolution. This takes about 30 minutes to arrive at the Monastery.
