Informations supplémentaires

"Burning Lake" is about 20 minutes drive from Bumthang and is the site where Pema Lingpa, a renowned Buddhist Saint, discovered his first sacred treasures. A wooden bridge spans over the river water pool. Legend has it that he carried a burning butter lamp and jumped into the water saying that if he was evil the lamp would be extinguished and if not it would still burn when he emerged. He returned from the pool with religious treasures and the lamp still lit. It is a sacred place of pilgrimage for the Bhutanese.
