Gyantse is a small traditional Tibetan town nestled in the road between Lhasa to Shigatse (known as the Friendship Highway), roughly about 264 kilometers south-west of Lhasa. Gyantse, also known as the hero city, is bliss for all kind of travelers. Variety of land activities, colorful water activities as well as cultural and art activities. Here you can exercise your body, relax yourselves and purify and enlighten your mind. The most interesting activity in this ancient town is Gyantse Horse Racing Festival or Gyantse Dama Festival.
Gyantse is located on the main trade route to India from there in the past and because of this privileged situation might enjoy an intense commercial activity which greatly emphasized the manufacture and sale of products derived from the wool from which would mention your prized carpets. Today this Gyantse lives with some prosperity thanks to the increasing influx of tourists and surprises the traveler with impressive Pelkhor Chode Monastery and the magnificent fortress (or Dzong) situated on a hill that dominates the city proud.
In Gyantse, Tibetan women contemplate and delight with their hairstyles made based on small braids tied behind their back. Colorful ornaments decorate their simple dresses, pins and belts. While women are notable for their traditional headgear wear, men, adults and children dress in Western fashion, most of them in clothes that seem from another era, faded and dirty as if they had taken out of a trunk forgotten in a dusty attic.
