BUDDHIST PILGRIMAGES

Sacred Journeys into the Himalayas' Hidden Lands.

Join us each year for a rare journey into Nepal's sacred Tsum Valley, guided by Geshe Tenzin Zopa and Dr. Miles Neale. Study, meditate, and visit holy sites in these hidden lands (beyul). One pilgrimage, two ways up: trek or helicopter.

Tsum is one of several sacred journeys we offer throughout the year. Each pilgrimage is a doorway into a sacred landscape, authentic tradition, and depth of practice.
