Ganden Monastery Travel Review of the 3rd Group in June 2016

To those tourists who have limited time to tour Tibet, and yet are keen to learn the Tibetan Buddhism and culture, it is a great idea to stay in Lhasa for about 4 or 5 days and cover some of classic religious and cultural heritage sites inside Lhasa city and its surroundings.

Ganden Monastery, One of Three Most Important Monasteries with Gelug Sect in Lhasa

Perched on the top of Wangbur mountain, Ganden Monastery is one of the three primary Tibetan Buddhism Monasteries with Gelug Sect (also known as yellow sect). While another two are Sera and Drepung Monastery. Ganden Monastery Day Tour plus scenic trekking to Trubshi Village is great choice for tourists of all ages.

Enjoyed the Ride from Lhasa to Ganden Monastery

Situated just 50 km northeast of Lhasa city, Ganden Monastery offers the superb view of Kyi-chu Valley and entire Lhasa city. It only takes about an hour’s drive from Lhasa city.

Happened to enjoy the Monk Debate in Ganden Monastery in the Afternoon

By clapping the hands, the questioner was questioning the defender who sat still. The dramatic verbal debate and spirited movement were a big draw for tourists. Another popular destination to see monk debate is in the monk debate courtyard of Sera Monastery.
