“Circumambulation of a Lifetime”
Ganden Monastery was my favorite monastery out of all the monasteries we visited in Tibet becuase of the fantastic views we managed to see while doing the kora around it.
The view unfolds in front of you as you ascend the montain, one switch back after another to reach the monastery which is at about 12,500 feet. One fabulous view after the other. This was definitely a highlight of my trip.
