Rongpu Monastery
At the Rongpu Qinzhogma Hill at the foot of Mt. Qomolangma, the monastery is 90 kilometers away from the Tingri County seat and is 5,800 meters above sea level, the highest of its kind in the world. Annually Rongpu Monastery holds three-day sorcerers activities on the 15th of the fourth month and the Ghost-Beating Festival on the 29th of the 11th month of the Tibetan calendar.
It is 60 kilometers from New Tingri to the Rongpu Monastery. Tourists can take a taxi to go to the Rongpu Monastery because there is no regular bus.
