Ganden to Samye Trekking 10days

Route Feature

Ganden is situated 45 km East of Lhasa on the Highway which follows the south bank of the Kyi Chu to Medro Gongkar. This is one of the most beautiful trekking sites in central Tibet and is considered as an abode of Champa, the future Buddha. Ganden monastery is perched on a ridge (Gokpo Ri), which was chosen by Tsong Khapa (1357-1419) for his first meditation, the monastery was built later. This is one of the great monasteries of six which were built by Gelukpa sect.

A trek from Ganden to Samye is one of the most popular trek in Tibet now. Travelers who are flying from mainland China or Kathmandu can join Ganden to Samye trek. However, the region is still restricted for trekking without an especial permit and a Tibetan guide. Ganden to Samye trek links two of the most important monasteries in Central Tibet and crosses the Yatro Drak range of mountains that divide the Tsangpo basin from the Lhasa Valley. The trek provides superb and pristine scenery along with access to Tibet's first monastery, founded in the 8th Century.
