Pilgrimage Tour to Bhutan

Zuri Monastery

An easy thirty minute walk from the National Museum, Zuri Tmple was built in 1352. The site was blessed by Guru Rimpoche. In the 9th century Tibetan Prince Lhasey Tsangma took refuge here while banished by his heretical brother Lhangdharma who sought to destroy Bhuddhism.

Zuri was built to protect Rinpung Dzong. To approach  the six story building one crosses a narrow bridge with a steep drop on both sides and then climbs the stairs leading to the massive wooden doors. The third floor is dedicated to Guru Rimpoche. The view of the Paro Valley from the fourth floor is dramatic.
