Paro

Novice hood initiation in Bagan, Myanmar (Burma)

In the centre of tiny Bondey village, on the east side of the Paro Chhu, beside the main road near the Bondey bridge, is this charming and unusually-shaped temple, founded by Thangtong Gyalpo. A circular chapel occupies the upper floor but access can be tricky; ask for the key at the next-door Tharpala General Shop if the caretaker is not around.
