Masterpiece! Beautiful monastery on top of the mountain! Great to have a short walk around the monastery (3km) to see the valley. There’s a restaurant with affordable price and tasty sweet tea that you can have lunch.

The most impressive sight to have visited. The monastery lies perfectly hidden behind the mountain and has a beautiful kora you can walk. Sky burials take place here which is special to see.

Es war nicht nur das grösste Kloster sondern auch eine Stätte der Lehrunterweisungen, mit verschiedenen Fakultäten. Die Gelugpa, der auch der heutige Dalai Lama zugehört, wurde die grösste Schulrichtung im tibetischen Buddhismus. Tsongkhapa starb 1419 in diesem Kloster, wo auch seine sterblichen Reste aufbewahrt und als Reliquie betrachtet wurden. Bei der Kulturrevolution wurde das Kloster zerstört. Die Reliquie, der einbalsamierte Körper Tsongkhapas, soll von den Mönchen jedoch vorab an einen bis heute geheim gehaltenen Ort gebracht worden sein. Ab 1980 wurde Ganden weitgehend wieder aufgebaut. Die wertvollen Schätze, unter ihnen auch viele Aufzeichnungen, sind jedoch für...

I love the way to go to Ganden Monastery. The view is really great. It is a good start to getting well with acute mountain and avoid the sickness with 1 day trip to Ganden to challenge yourself at 4,800m and then come back to Lhasa at 3,600m before taking any higher location
