Ganden monastery is about 60 kilometers northeast of Lhasa, at the top of Wangbur Mountain, Dagze County at an altitude of about 4,300m. It is a hidden gem monastery in Tibet and in today's video, I will show you around this monastery.
Founded by Tsongkhapa in 1409, Ganden Monastery is one of the great three Gelug university monasteries of Tibet, and the other two are Sera Monastery and Drepung monastery.
Ganden monastery has been one of the most popular day tour routes around Lhasa, and I’ve escorted hundreds of my clients to be here and they all enjoyed a very pleasant time.
Today, I will show you the inside Ganden Monastery to see the holy stupa of the great Master Tsongkhapa, the golden statue of the great Master Tsongkhapa, and the well-preserved living room of the great master Tsongkhapa.
You will get a full and in-depth look at the great Master Tsongkhapa, who is the founder of the Gelug School of Tibetan Buddhism, and the great admiration the local Tibetan pilgrims have for the great master.
Besides, I will take you to enjoy the Ganden Kora. The 4 kilometer’s kora around Ganden monastery takes about 1 hour to complete. You can enjoy some of the most beautiful scenic views of Lhasa Valley and the surrounding mountains.
The one-day tour to Ganden Monastery is always my top recommendation for any of Tibet tour. You will have the chance to meditate yourself in the great natural, and an experience to join in the local Tibetans to do a holy kora around the monastery.
