Kyunglung Monastery

Kyunglung Monastery is located northeast of Tsparang. There are high rocks with numerous caves. One of them is the residence of the head teacher and the practice of the ancient Tibetan tradition of Bon-po, the famous healer. Above the entrance to the monastery is the main symbol of the Bon religion – the left-sided swastika. At the entrance to the main monastery hall there is an old bass map-scheme of Shambhala, which schematically depicts dozens of monasteries. Upon entering, visitors find themselves in the main hall, where there is a stupa with relics.

Kyunglung Monastery looks strict, like a guard in front of the entrance to the narrow gorge of the upper reaches of one of the tributaries of the Indus - the Sutlej River, which opens the way to the secret valleys, where the spurs of the mountains are covered with settled salt from hot springs. Even in ancient treatises mentioned salt springs in the valley of Sutlej.
