Samye Monastery

A Tibetan Treasure indeed. One could easily spend a few days here. Our tour had only one day here but my heart definitely longed for more. Hep ori is just a short hike too and should not be missed

A quiet and sacred place to visit in Tibet. One of the favs from my trip.

Outstanding mandala designs, with the black and green stupas so beautiful

An impressive site to visit with a well maintained monastery. It has open plains and a garden surrounding it where you're able to walk around. The monastery was rebuild after the cultural revolution and itself is divided into multiple layers with their own characteristics. Being able to walk here during a prayer makes it more special. Certainly worth the visit.

Interesting monastery that gives you Tibetan monastic culture of Tibet.

Very well preserved clean and scenic temple

First and Oldest monastery in Tibet. Stay for two days. Trekking chimpuk hermit is recommended. Great semi dessert landscape

Very nice monastery. 4 different stupas in 4 different colors. Wonderful.
