rong phu dgon, other spellings: Rongpu, Rongphu, Rongphuk,Rong
sbug; Chinese: 絨布寺; pinyin: Róngbù Sì),
also known as Dzarongpu or Dzarong, is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery of
the Nyingma sect
in Basum Township[1], Dingri County, Shigatse Prefecture of
the Tibet Autonomous
Region, China.
Rongbuk monastery lies near the base of the
north side of Mount Everest at
4,980 metres (16,340 ft) above sea level, at the end of the Dzakar Chu
valley.[2] [3] For Sherpas living on the
south slopes of Everest in the Khumbu region
of Nepal, Rongbuk Monastery
was an important pilgrimage site, accessed in a few days travel across the
Himalaya through the Nangpa La.[4] The
monastery was also regularly visited by the early
expeditions to Mount Everest in the 1920s and 1930s after a five
weeeks journey from Darjeeling in
the Indian foothills of the Himalaya. Most past and
current expeditions attempting Mount Everst from the north Tibetan side do
establish their Base Camp near
the tongue of the Rongbuk Glacierabout
8 kilometres (5.0 mi) south of the Monastery... More...
