Ganden Monastery Trek (Tibet)

#chinatravel For those seeking spiritual depth and physical challenge, the Ganden to Samye trek in Tibet is an unforgettable journey. Beginning at the hilltop Ganden Monastery, one of the most important Gelugpa Buddhist institutions, the trail winds through mountain passes, yak pastures, and remote hermit caves. You’ll meet nomads, sleep in tents under star-filled skies, and finish at the ancient Samye Monastery. The trek is a powerful blend of landscape, faith, and cultural immersion.
