Gyantse is a historic town located in the Tibetan Autonomous Region of China. The town is known for its ancient fortresses, temples, and traditional Tibetan architecture, and was an important centre of commerce and culture for centuries. The Gyantse Dzong is an impressive fortress that dates back to the 14th century and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The Pelkor Chode Monastery, a unique complex that features both Buddhist and Tibetan architectural styles, is home to several ancient shrines, including the Kumbum Stupa. Visitors can also explore the town's historic streets and enjoy trekking and hiking trails.
Explore the Pelkor Chode Monastery, a unique religious complex that houses several different schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Founded in the early 15th century, the monastery features exquisite murals, statues, and wood carvings that showcase the artistic heritage of the region. Adjacent to the monastery, you'll find the Gyantse Kumbum Stupa, a stunning multi-tiered stupa renowned for its impressive architecture and intricate artwork. The Kumbum Stupa is one of the most revered pilgrimage sites in Tibet, featuring 77 chapels and countless statues of Buddha.
Climb to the top of the Gyantse Dzong, a historic fortress perched on a hill overlooking the town. The fortress, also known as Gyantse Fort, played a significant role in Tibet's defence against British forces in the early 20th century. Explore the fortress's well-preserved ruins and visit the small museum that chronicles its history. From the top of the Dzong, enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, including the Pelkor Chode Monastery and the Nyang Chu Valley.

Explore the opulent rooms filled with original furniture, artwork, and household items, and learn about the history of the Pala family and their influence on the region.
