We transfer from Serxu to Derge via Manigange, Chaola Mountain and Derge Grand Canyon. You will have a great view on the Xinluhai Lake as well as on the mountains and their glaciers. We will also visit the Dzogchen Monastery on the way.

After its founding in 1685, Dzogchen Monastery grew from a small monastery into a major institution within the Nyingma tradition. Quite soon after its founding, Dzogchen became involved in continuing and preserving the Buddhist teachings in Tibet. In the early 18th century, the monastery encouraged the King of Derge to establish a treasury and printing press for the preservation of the Tibetan Buddhist teachings. Over time Dzogchen became a regional center for religious and philosophical education and instruction.
