There are some famous gompas (Monasteries) in these areas. The most famous, Shey Gompa was reestablished in 11th century. Thashung Gompa located near Phoksundo Lake was built about 900 years ago to conserve wildlife. Shey Phoksundo National Park is home to more than 9000 people, and their villages are among the highest settlements on earth. Most of the inhabitants of the park practice Bon Buddhism, an ancient religion with roots in Animism and Buddhism.
