1. Are any recommended Tibet meditation retreats for meditation or yoga for spiritual seekers?

Additionally, you can travel from Lhasa to Tsedang, where Tibetan Buddhism and culture originated from. The Samye Monastery, the first Tibetan monastery, and Chim-puk Hermitage dotted with sacred meditation caves on Narui Mountain overlooking Yarlung Tsangpo Valley are highly recommended for meditation and hiking. You can visit Guru Rinpoche’s original meditation caves as well.
On top of that, the tranquil Rutog Monastery tucked away in the center of turquoise Yamdrok Lake and Rongbuk Monastery at the foot of Mount Everest, and Drirapuk Monastery next to holy Mount Kailash, etc. also rank high on the travel list of Buddhists, pilgrims, and yoga masters.
