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.
Added advantage of walking up the mountain was that the view of Ganden monastery and surroundings became more beautiful almost with every step I took, so I looked back very often! The walk was just what I needed, when I crossed the saddle, marked by cairns or lapse in Tibetan, the view on the other side was completely different: small villages at the bottom of the valley, and mountains towering above the valley on the opposite side. Other than small groups of yaks I did not see anyone. Unfortunately, I had to turn back to catch the bus - the valley in which I knew the path towards Samye monastery looked very attractive indeed. The walk back was easy, instead of walking directly to Ganden I added the high kora to my hike - unfortunately I did not see any pilgrim on the way and had to struggle my way through prayer flags alone.
