Yumbulagang Monastery

This fine, tapering finger of a structure that sprouts from a craggy ridge overlooking the patch work fields of the Yarlung valley is reputed to be the oldest building in Tibet. At least that is the claim for the original structure. Most of what can be seen today dates from 1982.It is still a remarkably impressive sight, and should not be missed. The founding of Yumbulagang stretches back to a time of legend :myths converge on the structure bewildering profusion. The standard line is that it was built to accommodate King Nyentri Tsenpo, a likely historical figure who has since been swallowed up by the mythology of Tibet
