Nai Village
乃夏村
A Tibetan village near Gyirong town, with barley fields, wooden houses and snow peaks in one view. It is said to be where Padmasambhava meditated.
Nai Village (Naixia Village) sits on a mountain terrace a few kilometres northeast of Gyirong town, at about 2,900 metres. The village keeps traditional stone-and-timber Tibetan houses, surrounded by terraced fields and pine forest. In the distance you can see the Langdang snow peaks. According to tradition, Padmasambhava once meditated in a cave beside the village. There is now a small temple and a prayer-wheel path. Rhododendrons and rapeseed flowers bloom in spring, and the autumn colours are at their best. It is about 15 minutes by taxi or car from Gyirong town. You can also walk up the village road. It is good for a half-day of wandering and photos.
