Yumbum Lakang
It is located on the Jormo Zhaxi Ceri Mountain, about 5 km to the southeast of Nedong County of Lhoka, ‘Yumbum’ means a female deer, because the formation of the Jormo Zhaxi Ceri Mountain looks like a doe, and ‘Lakang’ means the holy palace.
The Yumbum Lakang was the first palace, which was first built by Nyatri Tsenpo, the first Tibetan king at the beginning of the 2nd century according to the legend. Enshrined inside the palace are images of the Three Periods of Buddha, Nyatri Tsanpo, Lha Thothori Nyantsen, Zhebajin, Songtsen Gampo and Trisong Detsan. About 400 meters to the northeast of the Zhaxi Ceri Mountain, there is a famous spring named ‘the Ger Spring’ which flows in a ceaseless stream for four seasons (highly respected by the locals).
