[2025 Lhasa Attraction] Travel Guide for Ganden Monastery (Updated Mar)

Ganden Monastery is located on the top of Mount Wangpori at an altitude of 3,800 meters on the south bank of the Lhasa River in Dagze County, east of Lhasa City, Tibet Autonomous Region. Ganden Monastery was built in 1409. It is the first of the six major monasteries of the Gelug sect of Tibetan Buddhism. It was personally planned and built by Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Gelug sect in 1409. During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Shizong of the Qing Dynasty named the temple "Yongtai Temple". Origin of the name: The full name of the temple is “Zhuo Gandan Namba Jeweilin”, where “Zhuo” refers to Zhuoriwuqi Mountain, and “Ganden” is the transliteration of Tibetan, which means “Tushita Heaven”, which is the world taught by the future Buddha Maitreya, and “Namba Jeweilin” means the victorious temple, hence the name of the temple. Ganden Monastery was completely destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. Only the statue of Tsongkhapa has been successfully preserved by local villagers. It is also the only remaining cultural relic of the original Ganden Monastery. Almost all the buildings we see today were rebuilt after the reform and opening up, and are listed as national key cultural relics protection units. #China #ChinaTravel #Tibet #Buddhism #Temple #Mountain #Gelugpa

|The Sky City of Lhasa.【Opening】： Ganden Monastery, one of the six great Gelugpa monasteries, is also the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units announced by the State Council; together with Drepung Monastery and Sera Monastery, it is known as the "Three Great Monasteries" of Lhasa. It is located in Dazhu District, more than 400 kilometers east of Lhasa city, at an altitude of 3800 meters. 🕘【Opening hours】： 07:30-18:00 Recommended visiting time: 2-3 hours. When visiting the temple, please follow the temple rules and Tibetan customs. Do not disrespect religious objects such as ritual instruments. 💴【Ticket price】： 50 yuan/person, on-site purchase, no preferential policy ⛺【Activities】： Ganden Monastery occupies almost the entire hillside, with exquisite murals and sculptures inside the temple. 🚌【Transportation】： Self-driving or taking a bus from the west gate of Jokhang Temple 👉【Itinerary arrangement】： Suggested itinerary 1: Lhasa - Potala Palace - Ganden Monastery - Lhasa Suggested itinerary 2: Lhasa - Ganden Monastery - Basongcuo - Basongcuo Scenic Area Hotel 🧡【Before you go】： The weather in the plateau area is unpredictable, so please be prepared for sun protection, cold protection and rain protection; please follow the relevant regulations and order when visiting the scenic area, and do your part to protect the natural environment and cultural relics.

Before I went to Ganden Monastery, I thought Drepung Monastery was the most beautiful temple I had ever seen. After visiting Ganden Monastery, I no longer want to recommend you to visit the several temples in Lhasa. I sincerely only recommend going to Ganden Monastery. Of course, if you really like natural scenery, but from a Buddhist perspective, the one just visited is not inferior to the several indoor temples. You may not know that there is actually a stupa inside Ganden Monastery. This is a mourning hall where the real body and bone relics of Buddha Sakyamuni and the belongings of Master Zhongkaba are enshrined. There are very few temples in the country that can enshrine the Buddha's real relics. The only one I know of in China is Famen Temple. The altitude here is about 4200m. If you have altitude sickness, it is recommended not to come here. If we don't have altitude sickness, we can go to the road in front of the Jokhang Temple Square in Lhasa at around 6:30 every morning. There we can take buses to various temples in the suburbs of Lhasa. These are large buses specially used for pilgrimages. The round-trip fare is 50 RMB. Remember not to pay via WeChat, as they only accept RMB. On the day I went to Ganden Monastery, I was the only tourist on the bus, the others were all Tibetans. This shows that this magical place is actually unknown to tourists from other places. On the way to Ganden Monastery, the Tibetans in the car chanted sutras the whole time, and it felt so sacred. When the bus passed the checkpoint at the foot of the mountain, I was the only tourist on the bus, so the bus driver said that all the people were Tibetans. Therefore, I was also exempted from the 50 yuan ticket fee, thank you very much. The major temples in Lhasa do not charge Tibetans for worship, but they charge fees for tourists from other places. The car followed the winding road up, and the altitude recorder on the mobile phone kept climbing higher. After getting off the bus, I saw Ganden Monastery in the distance looming in the fog. It really looked like a fairyland. Because we went there early, the indoor speakers were doing their homework. There is a cafeteria near the parking lot where you can pay to eat. They also have meat for you to eat, but the taste is just so-so and I’m not really used to it. Don't underestimate this place. I see many foreigners coming here to worship, including those from Nepal and India who come here specifically to worship. I really recommend everyone to come here, the scenery is really amazing and beautiful. Especially the hall where the Buddha's relics of Sakyamuni are enshrined, there are stupa souvenirs on display, as well as amulets, incense and other things next to them. A characteristic of Tibetan Buddhism is that unlike the temples in the mainland, they also accept offerings from Tibetan believers, but usually only 50 cents or 1 yuan, not 100 yuan like those often seen in the mainland. In short, I highly recommend everyone to come here. The drive takes about an hour and a half, but it will definitely make you unforgettable.

Many tourists don’t know about this place. They all say that there are three major monasteries in Lhasa. I think Ganden is more shocking, more majestic and more beautiful than Sera and Drepung. If you want to go, please remember my experience: About transportation: Every morning at 6:30 am, there will be pilgrimage buses to various suburban temples at the intersection in front of the Jokhang Temple. When I arrived at 6:30, a bus to Ganden Monastery had already been dispatched. When I went there today, I was the only outsider on the bus, and the rest were local Tibetan herdsmen who were there to worship. It should be noted that the bus only accepts RMB and does not accept WeChat transfers. The round-trip price is 50 yuan. 2 About tickets: Many temples in Lhasa now charge admission to outsiders. The most expensive one is Jokhang Temple, which costs 80 RMB, and Ganden Monastery, which costs 50 RMB. Fortunately, the entire bus was full of pilgrims today, and the driver did not betray me. Haha, I got in by blending in with the Tibetans. You should know that it is free for Tibetans to worship in these temples in Tibet. 3 About the weather: It has been cloudy and rainy in Lhasa these days, but the weather here changes very quickly. It was raining when we went up the mountain in the morning, but the clouds and fog cleared at 11 o'clock in the morning. The temperature up there is a bit low, so it is recommended that you bring a slightly thicker coat. This is the rainy season in Lhasa, so you can bring an umbrella according to the weather forecast. 4. About the temple where the cow is: 5 About the scenery here: The altitude this Thursday is between 4200m and 4300m. If you have severe altitude sickness, it is recommended not to come. If you don't have altitude sickness, you must come here! In addition to this unique temple built on the top of the mountain, there is also a hillside that looks to be six or seven hundred meters high next to it, where prayer flags can be hung. Behind the hillside is a large plain that looks very majestic. The scenery here is the most stunning and beautiful among the three major temples in Lhasa. By the way, flying drones is not allowed here.

Ganden Monastery is located more than 50 kilometers outside the suburbs of Lhasa, and you can navigate directly to the destination. Ganden Monastery is the first monastery of the Gelug sect of Tibetan Buddhism, and there are six Gelug sect monasteries in the Tibetan area with significant historical changes. Four in Tibet: Ganden Monastery, Drepung Monastery, Sera Monastery, and Tashilhunpo Monastery; Ta'er Monastery in Qinghai; Labrang Monastery in Gansu. Ganden Monastery is a supreme symbol of the Buddhist knowledge platform, and devotees come to worship every day. This is the first time visiting Ganden Monastery, and every corner of the monastery is filled with traces of history.

Ganden Monastery: formerly translated as Ganden Monastery, Galdan Monastery, Galdan Monastery, etc., is located on the top of Wangbori Mountain at an altitude of 3,800 meters on the south bank of the Lhasa River in Dagze County, Lhasa City, Tibet Autonomous Region, China, 57 kilometers away from Lhasa. During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Shizong of the Qing Dynasty named the temple "Yongtai Temple". Origin of the name: The full name of the temple is “Zhuo Gandan Namba Jeweilin”, where “Zhuo” refers to Zhuoriwuqi Mountain, and “Ganden” is the transliteration of Tibetan, which means “Tushita Heaven”, which is the world taught by the future Buddha Maitreya, and “Namba Jeweilin” means the victorious temple, hence the name of the temple. The temple was planned and built in 1409 by Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Gelug school of Buddhism. The Tripa ("Tripa" means the Dharma seat or the abbot) of this monastery is called Ganden Tripa. The construction of Ganden Monastery marked that the Gelug sect had its fundamental temple and the Yellow Sect had been established on the basis of "religious reform". Ganden Monastery is the ancestral monastery of the Lu sect and is collectively known as the "Three Major Monasteries" of Lhasa along with Drepung Monastery and Sera Monastery.

🚉Travel guide: Take the bus from Yutuo Road at 6 am, arrive around 9 am, there is a restaurant in the monastery where you can taste Tibetan meals. Return on the same day, passing by Sang'ah Monastery on the way back. Ganden Monastery, a monastery personally founded by Master Tsongkhapa. Altitude: 4300 meters Physical intensity: Moderate, climbing is required, bring Red Bull and oxygen bottles. Main structures: Tsongkhapa's Stupa, Ganden Throne, Ganden Printing House The scenery behind the mountain is very beautiful. Specialties: Ganden Kamba Tibetan incense, incense powder uses: burn to drive away evil, for storage, made into sachets to wear. There are also stick incenses available for selection.

The area surrounding Lhasa has some of the most spectacular natural scenery in the world. Moreover, nestled among the Himalayan peaks are numerous phenomenally interesting monasteries. Unlike so many temples and religious sites around the word, these monasteries clearly primarily serve the needs of monks, nuns and religious pilgrims rather than tourists. This gives them an authentic edge that is missing from other religious traveler destinations.#tibet #lhasa #monastery #freehotelstay
