Travel Guide Rongphu 绒布

The view from Rongphu is more beautiful than the base camp, and this is usually where the camp is moving. The Rongphu site is cut from December to March. The monastery inn offers rudimentary dormitories at 25 RMB per person. A small restaurant was recently opened by Tibetans behind the village's only guest house.The Nyingmapa Monastery is inhabited by monks and nuns. The abbot, Ngawang Tenzin Norbu, whose photo can be seen in the hall of assembly, escaped to the arrival of the Chinese in 1959. He established his new monastery, Thubten Tchöling, in the Sherpa country (Solu) on the other side of the Himalayas. In the winter, almost all monks and nuns fled the monastery of Nyingmapa to join the Monastère monastery by the Col du Nangpala and follow the teachings of the abbot for four months. They take the same path in March.
