Only about 100 monks managed to escape with His Holiness the Dalai Lama when he fled Tibet in 1959. They lived first in Boxa, North India, and then, in 1969, 62 of the surviving Gomang monks were given 42 acres of land in Mundgod, south India. There they started to rebuild Drepung Gomang Monas- tic Dratsang in its present location. Today approximately 2,000 monks live on these few acres. This tour will help raise funds to educate, feed, house and care for almost 2000 exiled Tibetan Monks. Suggested donation $20-$25.
