Experience the
tranquility of Serang Stay
Sanctuary for travelers seeking solace and spiritual rejuvenation amidst the grandeur of nature.
The Serang Monastery has historically been an isolated sanctuary for Buddhist study and retreat with links to Tibet that traverse the centuries. Traditionally, this sacred site has prohibited all foreign and non-monastic related visitation. Within the last decade, Serang has allowed some visitation, however, too much visitation has become unsustainable and detrimental. As part of our commitment to the preservation and sustainability of Serang Monastery, all trekkers embarking on Himalayan adventures are required to contribute a donation of $40 per person per day. This contribution is mandatory for visitors trekking with our company or any other trekking agencies operating in the region. Himalayan Tahr Treks has been assigned to manage all visitation.
