Directions to Katog Choling Rit'hröd

There is very rarely cell phone service along Hwy 7 and on the retreat land, so Jasper is the last stop to make a call to the Sangha House to let folks know you’ll be arriving soon.
Just before the Sangha House, there is one low water bridge to cross the Little Buffalo River that may flood during heavy rainstorms. If has been raining hard for a long time when you arrive to Jasper, please call the Sangha House so that someone can let you know if the bridge is passable.
Sangha House phone: 870-446-2952
