Pelkor Chöde monastery is home to the famous Gyantse Kumbum, largest stupa of Tibet. Otherwise, the views from the Thangka wall and the chapels in the assembly hall will keep you busy for a couple of hours.
The day before, I had seen the great way Pelkor Chöde monastery is nestled against a hill, with a Thangka wall behind it, effectively creating a protected bowl. In it, Pelkor Chöde monastery, founded in the early 15th century, combined three different orders of Tibetan buddhism, which in itself makes it a special monastery. Of the three, the dominant order was the Gelugpa order. The impact of the Chinese invasion in 1959 can easily be seen when comparing the current state of the monastery with old pictures. The courtyard around the main buildings, the enormous Kumbum and the assembly hall, is largely empty now.
