Gomar Monastery & Old Fort
སྒོ་དམར་དགོན།
A monastery known for its tall Kalachakra stupa, beside a well-preserved Tu rammed-earth fortified village.
Gomar Monastery is on the east bank of the Longwu River, about 8 km north of Tongren. Its Kalachakra stupa is more than 30 m tall and is one of the largest stupas in the Amdo region. You can climb inside to see the murals on each level. Next to the monastery is the Gomar Old Fort, a Tu village that evolved from a Ming-era military garrison. Its narrow, winding lanes lie within rammed-earth walls, and many households paint thangkas. It is a great place to experience Rebgong architecture. It is about 2 km from the Wutun monasteries. Admission fees are posted on site.
