Experience Shigatse

Tashilhunpo Monastery

Grand, magnificent and legendary Tashilhunpo Monastery is the most honorable in Shigatse, Tsang (western Tibet).

It is not only the largest monastery of Gelug Sect in Shigatse, but also the place of Panchen Lama's. Well the detailed introduction of Tashilhunpo Monastery has been published in our website, or you are very welcomed to contact us for more information. Here I would like to prepare some suggestions for your information.

This monastery is as not large as you can imagine. It is better to spend the time in somewhere inside instead of wasting time to walk around only.

Lama could help you to open the door if it is locked.

The ticket of this monastery could be free to tourists in 3 days of August every year.

The Origination of Yarlung Zangbo River

Do you agree with me that it is a tempting case to explore the origination of a large river. I do not think there is any reason you will have to refuse the discovery journey in Shigatse, Tibet.

The origination of Yalung Zangbo River is located in Jiemayangzong, about 5590m high of the glacier. It is the junction of Shigatse and Ngari Prefecture. The holy mountain, Mt. Kailash and Mapam Yontso are standing not far from it. When you stand there you will say what a amazing gift of nature it is, just like what I have said.
