Ganden to Samye Trek |
As
we have written above that to accomplish all the
trekkings in Tibet, we must drive or fly from Kathmandu
to Tibetan land first. Hence this trip begins with drive
through the Friendship Highway to Lhasa or directly
flight. As far you have chosen to drive from Kathmandu
along the friendship highway, we'll stop in the major
towns/settlements enroute. Paying the visits of Sakya,
Tashilumpo, Palcho Monasteries and Khumbum Stupa, the
first step of drive takes 5 days to reach in Lhasa. Then
we'll spend three days in Lhasa for acclimatization and
sightseeing tours that covers the visit of the spiritual
centers of Tibet: the Jokhang Temple, Sera and Drepung
monasteries & the Potala Palace.
The next 5 days we will spend in trekking section which
begins a 45 km drive to Ganden from Lhasa, we visit the
monastery, one of the main Gelugpa sect of Buddhism.
This five days trek crosses 2 over 5000m passes enroute
and the total trekking distance is 80 KM. This trek has
a perfect combination of elevation, moisture and aspect.
Upon arriving in Samye, we visit the the monastery-the
only monastery that represents Nyingmapa sect of
Buddhism (red capped).
