Perched on the ridge of a mountain, the superb location of Ganden Monastery makes it interesting not only as a monastery, but also as a starting point for hikes.
The ride through the valley of the Lhasa River was easy, until we turned right. When I tried to spot the monastery higher above me, I only saw a road climbing on the steep flanks of mountain. Indeed, that was our road, and taking countless switchbacks, offering stunning views over the valley below, we reached the final road to the monastery at some 4,500m altitude. The first morning rays were just reaching the roofs of the monastery as we arrived, and I could not wait to get out. After all the monasteries I had seen in the previous days, I felt a need to explore nature; so after exploring the quiet area of the monastery, I set out on the route that ultimately leads to Samye monastery.
