Gampo Abbey

TIME : 2016/2/19 4:09:23

This abbey, 8km north of Pleasant Bay past the village of Red River, is a monastery for followers of Tibetan Buddhism. Ane Pema Chödrön is the founding director of the abbey and a noted Buddhist author, but you aren't likely to see her here as she is often on the road. You can visit the grounds any time during the day, but you get a more authentic experience with a tour – a friendly monk escorts you.
