Description:
Ogyen Choling, a small village in the upper part of the Tang Valley, set on a hill top it affords sweeping views of the valley and river below. The village houses cluster around Ogyen Choling Museum, a private museum, within the settings of a palace/manor. After crossing the suspension bridge, we begin our 45 minute walk through Kyizum village and upwards through terraced farmland, past a water prayer wheel and up to Ogyen Choling Museum.
Located in the central tower of the palace (utse) this Lords mansion has been preserved and offers a rare glimpse into the lifestyle of religious nobility.
Thoughtfully preserved this exhibition of a noble household in 19th & 20th century is a fascinating insight into privileged life. This estate is not only a museum but a religious and cultural centre, set up to maintain the on-going research and studies.
