A sprawling city hosting a stunning monastery

by extrajoce - last update: Mar 16, 2003

Visit of the Pelkor Chöde monastery

Monastery of Gyantse
This big city is where one of Tibet's most important monasteries lies. It is a stop along almost any trip in Tibet, and is definitely an interesting place to visit. The fortifications around the city are very impressive. In all, the whole place feels much more authentic than Lhasa, which is gradually rebuilt by the Chinese.

 When will those other monasteries in Tibet learn to let us take unlimited photos inside? Welcome to the Kumbum Club!

 Nice page of Gyantse with a lot of information. I like it that you choose to make a own Gyantse-page, like I did...
