The main highlight of this trek is the trekking trail which connects the two important monasteries of Tibetan Buddhism, Ganden and Samye. Ganden Monastery, which lies 40 km east of Lhasa, is the first monastery of the Gelukpa sect. Built by Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Gelukpa order, the monastery is renowned as one of the biggest and most important Gelukpa monasteries in Tibet. Founded in 779 AD by Trisong Detsen, the monastery has a collection of pagodas and temples.
