Kongpo Bon Ri is the most respected and holy place for practitioners of the Bon spiritual tradition of Tibet. Mt. Bon Ri is located in the southeast of Nying Khri county, seated on the bank of the Yarlung River. It is believed that Buddha Tonpa Shenrab, the founder of the Bon tradition, first came to Tibet in Kongpo Bon Ri. There are many sacred places and monasteries all over Mt Bon Ri. We will be visiting some of them during our stay.
