Gyantse Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Housing three sects of Sakyapa, Kadampa and Gelugpa together, Palcho Monastery has a hard-won lenient tolerance amongst the Tibetan sects to balance them well. Therefore, the design and layout of the Monastery is a synthesis of the three sects to combine different structural Zhacangs (rooms for monks) enshrined deities and more integrated Tibetan Buddhist Culture.
