The habitat of the Nine-Colored Divine Bird丨The mysterious ancient temple Kaju Temple on the border|||
The Nine-Colored Divine Bird, called the Brown-tailed Pheasant, is the national bird of Bhutan and Nepal. It is named because of the many colors of feathers on its neck, which look like nine colors. It is a first-class protected animal in my country and can only be seen in Kaju Temple
The full name of Kaju Temple is "Auspicious Hermitage". It is located on the top of a misty mountain called "Jiapujin" behind the town of Lhozha Lhakang in Tibet. It is more than ten kilometers away from Bhutan and has an altitude of 4,019 meters. It is the most beautiful ancient temple in Tibet. It was the place where Guru Padmasambhava practiced in seclusion for the longest time in the seventh century AD, for 7 years, 7 months and 7 days. It is also the magical place for many eminent monks and saints such as Langkai Ningbu to pass on the teachings. There are more than 100 practice caves. The footprints, notes and other precious marks left by Master Padmasambhava can still be clearly seen. The temple is a must-go place for the Zha Ri pilgrimage held in the Tibetan calendar Monkey Year. The main hall is not big, and it houses statues of Guru Padmasambhava, Amitabha, Four-armed Avalokitesvara, Shantarakshita, Trisong Detsen and Langkai Nyingpo Living Buddha. The surrounding mountains are lush and green, with rich vegetation and exotic flowers and plants. You can see beautiful scenery by walking around the prayer path, and Kagyu Temple looks like a castle in the air from a distance. Due to its special location, when you are in it, the clouds and mist are rising and the sea of clouds is surging, like a fairy walking, and sometimes there are colorful clouds, which is really full of fairy spirit. The nearby Gonggar Co has beautiful scenery and is worth visiting. There are many animals around, in addition to the nine-color bird, there are also bears, red gorals, nutcrackers, squirrels, pikas, snow chickens, etc., which usually appear when the temple feeds food in the morning and evening.
Transportation: The bus departs from the North Suburb Bus Station of Lhasa at 9 o'clock every day → Lhozha County, then take the bus to Lakang Town, and then call a car from the town to Kagyu Temple.
Accommodation: In the peak season, the hotel next to the temple needs to be booked in advance, equipped with electric blankets, and convenient. There are many homestays in Lakang Town at the foot of the mountain. It takes more than ten minutes to drive up the mountain, which is cost-effective.

Kaju Temple, an ancient temple with thousands of years of history, is hidden in the snow-capped mountains, forests, and grasslands. It has beautiful scenery and is an important pilgrimage site for Buddhist believers. Because there is a canyon below, the high and low altitudes form a long canyon, allowing the monsoon from the Indian Ocean to rush up along the canyon. In the morning, a natural landscape of clouds and mist often forms here, so Kaju Temple is also called: the temple in the clouds~ Because the temple is not famous and the journey is far away (located on the border), there are not many people coming here. The brown-tailed rainbow pheasant, also known as the nine-color bird, has a very beautiful image, especially the colorful male bird, which has a cluster of particularly extended blue-green feathers on its head, which is the most beautiful feather crest among rainbow pheasants. It is also the national bird of Nepal and an internationally protected species. ●Location: In the forest peaks behind Lakang Town, Lhozha County, Shannan Prefecture, Tibet ●Altitude: about 3,996 meters ●Arrival: Self-drive or group tour Khaju Monastery is so high, far away, and quiet, sometimes hidden in the clouds, sometimes showing its simple true face, which makes people who have been there calm and unforgettable for a long time
We climb the stairs Step by step Measuring the inner strength When the altitude twists the breath Into a thin thread A flying bird flies by On the branch Silently becomes a weather vane On the way forward Guru Rinpoche may be the wind A bird A white prayer flag
