Pemakö

Pemakö is a remote, sacred region of southeastern Tibet straddling the great bend of the Tsangpo (Brahmaputra) river, regarded in the Nyingma tradition as a 'hidden land' (beyul). It was the birthplace, in 1904, of Dudjom Rinpoche (Jigdral Yeshe Dorje), who became a supreme head of the Nyingma school.
