Itinerary description

Esta ruta corta nos lleva por las zonas más visitadas del monasterio Drak Yerpa, comenzando y terminando en el aparcamiento al lado del restaurante. Muchos de los edificios que componen este monasterio están construidos sobre la ladera de la montaña, conectados entre sí por escaleras y senderos; algunas habitaciones hasta aprovechan cuevas naturales que ya existían allí antes. Es un lugar famoso para ermitaños y para meditar. La dificultad de la ruta radica en su altitud y los desniveles que hay que superar sobre todo para personas no aclimatadas.

This short circuit connects the most visited areas of the Drak Yerpa monastery. It starts and finishes on the parking lot next to the restaurant. Most buildings of this monastery lean against the mountain and are connected by paths and stairs; some of the rooms even are caves that existed there before. This is a place famous for hermits and for meditation. Its difficulty is due to the altitude and the stairs, causing shortness of breath in people not used to these conditions.
