Ursula trekked with us through Mustang and Dolpo to experience the beautiful, yet treacherous environment of Dolpo.  She experienced first hand the hardships which the people of northern Nepal endure all their lives.

Lake Phuksundo Cultural Project

Thashung Bon Gompa, 

Ringmo, Lake Phuksundo        Dolpo, Nepal

Donation $200.00 August 2017

Thashung Bon Gompa was build over 900 yrs. ago to protect the wildlife from hunters. The Gompa was build on the edge of a high rocky wall where the hunters trapped their prey underneath the wall.  The killing edge became a sacred protected edge when the Bon Gompa was built to protect the animals.  The protected area around the lake is now know as Phuksundo National Park and is an important habitat for endangered species such as the snow lion, grey wolf, musk deer and blue sheep. The villagers are authentic Bon, which is the indigenous spiritual tradition of Tibet.
