For Buddhists, it is\u00a0<strong>Chumig Gyatsa<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 the &#8220;Hundred Waters&#8221; where Guru Rinpoche meditated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every year, thousands of&nbsp;<strong>senior citizens and elderly pilgrims<\/strong>&nbsp;make this journey \u2013 many of them arriving from India&#8217;s lowlands, where the altitude is near sea level.
