Chhokhortse Goemba

The views are spectacular on the approach to this peaceful monastery (3010m), reached via a prayer-flag-choked trail climbing above the BBS Tower. The path cuts straight up the ridge to reach a tidy new chapel, and further up the slope to the time-scarred original monastery, which dates from the 14th century and enshrines an impressive collection of ancient statues. The trail continues uphill for four more hours to reach Phajoding Goemba.
