Some also suggests that common people might have earth burial as the kings did.</p> <p>The location and number of the mounds are various. The erosion has made some of them difficult to identify. However, it is agreed that there is a group of 10 burial mounds, locating just south of the Chongye-chu.</p> <p>The Tomb of Songtsen Gampo is the most revered of all the mounds. It is also&nbsp; the closet one to the main road. As the largest of the burial mounds, it has a small Nyingmapa temple, whit a top of 13m-high. The Tomb of Trisong Detsen is the furthest of all the mounds, sitting high on the slopes of Mt Mura, which is about an hour'sr climbing. All in all, the climbing is worth a try, for it offerrs superb views of the Chongye Valley.</p> <p><img height="300" alt="The Closer View" width="388" src="/images/Burial-Mounds/BM1.jpg" /></p> <p><br /> &nbsp;</p> <p align="left"><span class="STYLE5"><em>The word files of this webpage and some images are original works of Tibettravel.Org.
