Blessing

Blessings can be arranged in one of the monasteries during your trip.

Thrisel is a one-hour blessing using holy water to cleanse the mind, spirit and soul under the guidance of a revered lama. As an ample quantity of holy water is used, the warmer months may be preferable.

Price: USD 100 per person or couple, USD 50 for every additional person.

Tshewang is a one-hour ritual to promote a long life. This elaborate ceremony involves ample prayers, mantras and final blessings using a  Dorji (Thunderbolt) as well as sacred scriptures touched to the head.

Price: USD 500 per person or couple, USD 50 for every additional person.

Rimdo is an auspicious full day ceremony performed by 8–10 monks to grant a long life, bestow prosperity, well being and the fulfillment of any personal requests. To a symphony of drums, horns, cymbals and bells, the monks will chant the holy texts and mantras. Your actual presence is only required for a short duration as the blessing continues to flow from morning to night.

Price: USD 700 per person or couple, USD 50 for every additional person.
