CHHYONGUR - The rainbow village

It is a small village amidst large cultivation lands. But the colorful houses give a certain character to the village which is not justified by the small area of land it covers. People here follow the Sakyapa sect of Buddhism and the colors that you see on the walls of houses belong to this sect. The five colors that you see are green, red, white, yellow and blue all painted in vertical stripes. There is also a Gompa here which is simply recognised as Chhyongur gompa and is the only attraction here besides the colorful houses. To sum it all up, Chhyongur is a picturesque village, an ideal village for even Picasso himself.
