Yamalung Hermitage

It is possible to head up the valley directly behind Samye Monastery to the Yamalung Hermitage（聂玛隆圣洞）, around 20km from Samye. It’s really too far to hike there and back in a day, so best to build this into your itinerary so your driver can take you there. the recent upgrading of the road to Yamalung might bring regular transportation along this road.
