Lhodrak

Lhodrak lies in the mountains south of the Yarlung valley, near the passes leading towards Bhutan. Its valleys are associated with the great teachers Marpa and Milarepa. At Sekhar Gutok a tall stone tower is linked by tradition to the story of Milarepa, who was required by his teacher Marpa to build and rebuild it. The tower became a landmark of the religious landscape of southern Tibet.
