About Pharping – A Sacred Yoga & Meditation Destination

Monasteries, caves, and prayer flags adorn the hills, creating an atmosphere of devotion and serenity. Pilgrims from across the world come here to meditate, study, and absorb the powerful vibrations of the land. Pharping’s sacred sites, including the Asura Cave, Yanglesho Cave, and Tibetan monasteries, provide a rare opportunity to meditate in the footsteps of enlightened masters.
