10 Days Ganden – Samye Trek

This 10-day trekking adventure will be yet another most fulfilling experience. In the way of adjusting to the altitude, you will start out exploring main tourist attraction sites of extraordinary views and sensation on the first three days, with visits to the Potala Palace, the Jokhang Temple, Sera Monastery, Drepung Monastery, and exploration strolls around the old quarters of the city.

After 3 nights in Lhasa, we will then drive to Ganden Monastery, which lies 40 kilometres (around 25 miles) northeast of Lhasa, from where we trek through extensive stretches of pastureland, cross over Shugu La pass (5200m/17000ft), witness awesome landscapes along the terrains, to finally arrive at Samye Monastery, the first Buddhist monastery in Tibet. It will be, no doubt, a vigorous and delightful trek known for the diversity of landscapes and sceneries: high Snowy Mountain passes, gorgeous lakes, lush alpine meadows, peaceful Tibetan villages, and highly revered sacred sites.
