Gelephu Sorig Khang Bhutan

GELEPHU PROJECT

Our vision is the inauguration of Sorig Khang Bhutan, with the establishment of facilities for Sowa Rigpa teaching, meditation practice, and a medicinal plant cultivation center.

The Sorig Khang community has purchased a five hectare property in the Gelephu area of Southern Bhutan, which will soon be developed to manifest these programs.

ACTIVITIES

LOCATION

The Gelephu area of Southern Bhutan is a treasure trove of botanical diversity, near healing hot springs and protected wildlife sanctuaries with rich subtropical and Himalayan foothill forests, wild elephants and other rare species.

The first step in the project will be to begin cultivation of medicinal plants

PHASE I

Medicinal plant cultivation

The first step in the project will be to begin cultivation of medicinal plants. This can begin immediately.

Southern Bhutan is a lush, subtropical paradise, and many Sowa Rigpa herbs grow very well in the area. The primary species will be ‘black agar,’ the Aquillaria tree so highly prized for its aroma and medicinal properties. This will be complimented by other trees and unserstory plants, following principles of permaculture and sustainable herbal cultivation.
