PREPARE FOR YOUR VISIT
Some useful advice for all, whether you are coming to visit the temple, to attend a conference, or to participate in an event.
Climate and Altitude – Lerab Ling is at an altitude of 800 metres, and the weather here is quite different from that in Lodève or Montpellier. It can be very cold and rainy all year round, even when the weather in the lower valleys is good. It can also be very hot in summer, so, please bring appropriate clothing. The temple and its surrounding buildings are situated on the side of a hill and the terrain is uneven in places.
The Lerab Ling site is accessible to people with reduced mobility. If you have difficulty walking or if you are in a wheelchair, please let us know as soon as you arrive so that we can give you special permission to use your vehicle.
Unless special permission is granted, private cars must remain in the car park and may not be driven on the site.
An on-site taxi service is available by reservation only for groups guided visits and retreats.
