出波密县城后,山路越来越崎岖,两侧是原始密林,进发到卓龙沟,位于几座神山之间,是块近似弯曲手臂的地方,沿着泥泞小路往树林深处走,一路挂满了经幡的“树葬区"。继续往前走,周边的风光就像绿野仙踪里的仙境,轻雾缭绕,美仑美焕。
卓龙沟,位于波密县城南面六公里的一片原始森林里。卓龙在藏语中意思即为圣地。有幸来到波密,那就一定要看看。满山的经幡,道路两旁的旌旗阵以及路边刻着经文的石碑,看着就让人有一种,庄严肃穆或许还有些神秘的感觉。走到深处就发现,卓龙沟其实就是一条深深的峡谷,峡谷里到处都是参天大树,峡谷的两侧是陡峭高耸的山峰, 峡谷的尽头是皑皑的雪山。
卓龙沟位于波密县扎木镇南面约六公里的一片原始森林中,是专门用来树葬不足一岁小孩和土葬高僧的场地,山路此较陡,并且是碎石子路,我们包了一辆底座较高的面包车,才走到了半山腰,后面爬山上去,到底只有很小的一座庙宇式小屋。
风景独特,环境优美,值得一去。
Zhuolonggou is located in a virgin forest 6 kilometers south of Zhamu Town, Bomi County. "Zhuolong" means "holy place" in Tibetan, which shows its status in the minds of Bomi Tibetans. It is said that Zhuolong is the territory of the goddess "Dorje Pam" in Tibetan Buddhism. Every snowy mountain around is a mountain in the minds of locals. In the distance is the snowy snowy mountains, and in the vicinity is the virgin forest, which definitely has the feeling of "Eastern Switzerland". But although Zhuolonggou is a scenic area, there are very few tourists here, even locals rarely go to the bend, just because there is a tree burial area of the Yiba people hidden here. The more common funeral forms in Tibetan areas include tower burial, celestial burial, earth burial, cremation, water burial and hanging coffin burial, and tree burial is a funeral method that few people have heard of. Only Zhuolonggou has tree burial in the entire Tibetan area. Zhuolonggou is located between several mountain gods, is a place that is similar to the curved arm, and it is said that this is the place where Dorjepam tree buried children who were born under the age of one. Babies under the age of one have not done anything sinful or kind in the world, and it is hoped that children will thrive like trees after rotation; and many high-profile local monks will be buried there later. Although the innkeeper told me that it took about 5 hours to walk up the mountain before, what was unexpected was that in the whole process, except for a construction worker driving a jeep down the mountain, I didn’t meet any tourists. I was alone on the uneven dirt road. I can only take pictures while listening to the song. There are all kinds of scriptures hanging everywhere here. The scriptures are sacred religious relics in Tibetan areas. The Tibetan meaning is "Longda". The reason why they are called the scriptures is because the scriptures are printed on them. The scriptures that dance with the wind are fluttering and chanting once. After all, the tree burial area is a relatively secret place. After seeing the renovated Zhuolong Temple, there is a small road hanging on the left hand side, and Mashan enters the tree burial group in the virgin forest area. Unlike my previous imagination, I saw many plastic buckets on the tree rafts at first, thinking who was so bored to put this thing so high! Later, I saw that some small coffins with wooden nails were also placed like this, and I realized that the plastic buckets were actually containers for the bodies of children. Some small coffins may be a bit old, began to decay, the content is also a bit exposed, I think a little less courageous people can really can not stand, no wonder many people said to go to the tree burial group to visit the best to find a big sun day. TIPS1, from Bomi County to Zhuolong Temple and the tree burial group is a dirt road uphill all the way, the general car is impassable, only pickup trucks or off-road vehicles can go up. 2. The road to Zhuolong Temple is very clear, there is no fork, as long as you are bold, you will not get lost. 3. If you are hiking up the mountain, it takes about 4 to 5 hours to go up the mountain, and it takes about 2 hours to go down the mountain. There is no commissary in the whole road, and you need to prepare dry food and drinking water in advance. 4. After halfway, the mobile phone (tested mobile and Unicom) has no signal.
