Tidrum Nunnery and the medicinal hot-springs

About half an hour drive from Drigung Til, Tidrum Nunnery is located at the northwest of it. Tidrum, with its medicinal hot-springs has a great location in a narrow gorge at the confluence of two streams. The small nunnery has strong connections to Yeshe Tsogyel, the wife of King Trisong Detsen. The Kandro-la, the resident spiritual leader of the nunnery, is considered a reincarnation of Yeshe Tsogyel.

The medicinal hot springs are delightful and are in a mercifully concrete-free zone. There are separate men's and women's bathrooms.

There is no any admission to visit the nunnery, but 5RMB per person to take hot springs.

The best way to get to Drigung Til and Tidrum is by rented vehicle. The trip takes around 4 hours from Lhasa. Or you can go to Namtso first, and do a loop trip back Lhasa by visit Drigung Til, Tidrum Nunnery and Ganden Monastery.
