The legend of Red House goes a long way back... Tharwa Chyoling Nunnery is a small private monastery owned by Red House Lodge in Kagbeni.The chapel houses a huge clay idol of Maitreya, the second largest in Mustang. It is believed that your trip will be blessed and complete if you visit this holy place. The house is fairly large, lodging 14 bedrooms, with 10 attached bathrooms, the other 4 being standard rooms with common toilets. A beautiful Tibetan structure with a ghumba (Tibetan Shrine) of its own, storing Tibetan text books and a 5 ft tall Buddha statue enigmatically dotting the center, one can almost feel the mysterious awe mixed with divine sense of peace and solitude of its own kind! The Buddha statue is the second highest in the Mustang region with the first one being in LoManthang.
