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.
When I reached Barkhor square in Lhasa, it was still pitch dark. The frenzy of daytime was absent, but on the square itself, there were people standing around a few buses. Most of them pilgrims on their way to a remote monastery, some of them travelers like me, curious to have a look at a monastery outside the Chinized surroundings of Lhasa. Our bus filled up quickly, and in the end also the aisle was full of people who were given a stool to sit on. Even before the driver arrived, pilgrims in the bus started humming and singing, giving the bus a special atmosphere.
