High peaking above the graslands is the snow-covered peak of Mt Zhara Lhatse with a unique sharp pointed shape of 5820m hight.
This mountain is also strongly connected with the stories of Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava).
Lhagong is surrounded by five holy mountains : Chenresig, Jambayang, Chana Dorje and Drolma, and to the north, the snow mountain called Zhara.
Because it is surrounded by these holy mountains, it is a special and blessed place.
