Close to the Drigung Til monastery is a nunnery called Tidrum. A pilgrimage route leads from the Drigung Monastery to the Tidrum nunnery and the medicinal hot springs. This path takes about a day to walk (16 km between Tidrum and Drigung), many pilgrims do that.
The nunnery is said to have connections to the 8th century Yeshe Tsogyel, wife of Padmasambhava, the Buddha said to be born from a Lotus flower.
