Zutul Phuk monastery
After a long time trek of more than five hours we reached a legendary monastery which holds an interesting history.
Its the Zutul Phuk monastery which is located on the right bank of the Zhong Chu river.
Some of the most venerated objects within the monastery are some stone relics with rangjung footprints on them that are said to belong to Gotshangpa, Karmapa, and Milarepa. There is also a trident carved out of stone called Mile Changkha from perhaps the 11th century that is said to have belonged to Milarepa. Though part of it was damaged during the Cultural Revolution, the stone trident is considered to be a rediscovered treasure that contributes to the strength of Buddhism in the area.

No, this tents are fixed for a shelter and rest place for the pilgrims. We used own climber iglu tents. Thanks for your question, Brigitte and lG WolfgangBrigitte Lucke 30/01/2013 8:51
