Culture Tour In Upper Dolpo:

There are some famous gompas (Monasteries) in these areas. The most famous, Shey Gompa was reestablished in 11th century. Thashung Gompa located near Phoksundo Lake was built about 900 years ago to conserve wildlife. Shey Phoksundo National Park is home to more than 9000 people, and their villages are among the highest settlements on earth. Most of the inhabitants of the park practice Bon Buddhism, an ancient religion with roots in Animism and Buddhism. The Bonpo religion, which forms the entire cultural base for Tibetan Buddhism, was founded 18000 years ago, during the Zhang Zung Empire of today’s western Tibet.
