Kumbum Stupa

Within the Monastery walls is also a Stupa. What made this Stupa different to others we have seen is that you could partially go inside. No photo's allowed.

The Phalkor Monastery was pretty impressive inside but no photo's again. There was also a room off to the side which was really creeping just right for Halloween at Camperdown Castle .It even had a dead animal hanging from the ceiling.

Built in 1414, this monastery consists of 17 colleges that belong to the three sects of Sagya, Kadam and Gelug. Palkhor also has the spectacular Bodhi stupa, or Kumbum in Tibetan, which was built in 1412.Read more
