Begin your day with an early breakfast, ready to embark on a remarkable journey led by your guide to the captivating Ganden Monastery.
Ganden Monastery is situated on Wangbur Mountain, on the southern bank of the Lhasa River in Tagtse County, approximately 47 kilometers (29 miles) from Lhasa City. It ranks among the earliest and most extensive Buddhist monastic complexes in Tibet and holds a prominent position among the six renowned temples of the Gelugpa tradition, a branch of Tibetan Buddhism. Its multifaceted significance, encompassing religious, artistic, political, and cultural aspects, led to its inclusion in the National Key Cultural Relic Preservation scheme in 1961. Today, it is revered as one of the 'Three Great Temples,' alongside the Sera Monastery and the Drepung Monastery.
After a fulfilling day of cultural immersion, your guide will escort you back to your hotel for rest and rejuvenation. Use this time to reflect on the enriching experiences you've encountered, preparing for the exciting adventures that lie ahead.
