MEET THE BON ANCIENT RELIGION -
MYSTERIOUS LANDSCAPES
Nakchu - Northern Tibet
Rich in natural beauty, this
Tibetan area boosts an ancient religion known as Bon. It is
a mix of the old Bon and Buddhism that create Tibetan
Buddhism.
While
many Tibetan Buddhists shy away from the Bon without
realizing some of their customs were derived from this
interesting belief, visitors are often enthralled with the
intrigues Bon offers. Of course, tourists usually come for
silence and meditation, to visit the hundreds of quiet lakes
and undisturbed mountains.
Namtso Lake
lies within this area, but is easily visited from Lhasa. The
vast grasslands dotted with yak and nomad tents makes for a
picture perfect moment. Probably one of the least visited
spots due to the high altitude, climate and troublesome
transportation, the truly adventurous highly recommend this
place. The Nakchu area is named after the Nakchu river.
Imagine how large this place is with over 420,000 square
kilometers or, can you believe, 162,162 square miles,
actually almost one-third of the entire Tibetan region. It's
a dry cold area for it's 70,000 occupants, with an average
annual temperature below zero! Prepare well with extra
oxygen canisters as most of the area is above 4500 meters
(14,763 feet)! There are Bon Monasteries in the area. Ask
you guide or a local about visits. Bon religion dates back
2000 years when the ancient kingdom of Shengshong settled
this area. Check out the Qiaqing Horse Racing Festival in
Nakchu town.
