In Western Tibet, below the sacred Mount Kailash, prayer stupas known as chortens dot the landscape, inviting pilgrims to seek solace in their divine presence. Bodhnath Stupa, also called Chorten Chempo, beckons pilgrims from all corners of the world to experience its UNESCO World Heritage Site status and immerse themselves in its profound spirituality. Nestled in Tangbe village of Nepal's Mustang region, ancient chortens or stupas silently narrate tales of bygone eras while adding an ethereal charm to this picturesque Himalayan settlement. Huiyuan Temple in Bamei showcases magnificent chortens that exude tranquility and serve as a testament to Tibetan Buddhist traditions within western Sichuan's Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. Trongsa District in Bhutan boasts the captivating Chendebji Chorten - a symbol of devotion and architectural brilliance that captivates visitors with its intricate details and rich history. Thimphu's National Memorial Chhorten stands proudly as a tribute to Bhutanese culture and heritage; it is not only an architectural marvel but also a place for reflection and remembrance.
