Trulshik Rinpoche settled in the region of Khumbhu after fleeing Tibet in 1959. Rinpoche first stayed at monasteries like Thangmé for several years, while hoping to return to his own monastery of Rongpuk Monastery in Tibet. Finally, in 1968, Rinpoche built Thupten Choling near Junbesi on donated land. However, as he continued to believe that he and his followers would soon return to Tibet, the monastery was not built to last, and began to deteriorate in the 1990s. It was therefore rebuilt as a more stable structure, with reconstruction work beginning in 2001. In 1977, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche visited Thupten Chöling and stayed for several months, giving empowerments such as Gyutrul Shyitro, Nyingtik Yabshyi, Damngak Dzö and Compendium of Sadhanas.

The trail then contours the hillside below Taklung Danda and goes through a beautiful forested trail.

There are many rhododendrons here along a level path (which you can see in bloom if trekking in the spring). As you leave the forest, it’s not far to Pikey Peak base camp, about 2 hours away.
