Xegar
to Xigatse (altitude - 3900m/ 12,792ft): This

Tashilhunpo monastery:
The Tashilhunpo Monastery does justice to
the term monastic city. It was founded in
1447 by Tsong Khapa's nephew and disciple,
Gendundrub, who was the first Dalai Lama.
Under the fourth Panchen Lama, it was substantially
enlarged and became an important cultural
and religious site. The main chapel contains
a huge, 26 meter-high statute of the future
Buddha. The monastery is grandly decorated
with arts, ancient scriptures and scroll paintings.
Sakya monastery: The
Sakya monastery originally consisted of two
large complexes on either side of the Trum
River. Both the north monastery, founded in
the 11th century and Sakya south, founded
in 1268 by Phagpa, have uniquely significant
status with Tibetan pilgrims. The monastery
offers you libraries of spiritual books as
well as artwork and a chance to see the grand
residence of the monks. |

lying 264 km southwest of Lhasa on the northern
bank of the Nyang Chu River, is of historical
significance. In the 15th century it served
as the capital of a small kingdom. Today,
Gyantse retains a deeply Tibetan character.
The principle structures consist of a castle
on a ridge overlooking the town and a walled
monastic complex. The monastery includes the
massive temple of Palkhor Chode and the great
multi-chapel Kumbum Chorten. These religious
monuments, part of Gyantse's ancient monastic
