Pelkhor Chode Monastery

Pelkor Chode is the spiritual center of Gyanze, a surprisingly loyal monastery. Stuffed over the gates of the monastery symbolize the sled animals on which the gods arrive here for service.

The business card of Gyangjie is the multicolored stupa Kumbum ("thousand"). 1000 images of Buddhas, deities and bodhisattvas 32 m high. A typical Nepali stupa, symbolizing the worship of the main elements of the universe: Earth-Water-Air-Fire-Ether. There are five floors, many rooms, statues and altars, in which the most beautiful statues of Buddhas, tars and defenders stand in silence and darkness, the walls of the rooms are painted with colorful frescoes. The stupa is crowned with a gold top. It rises like a crown above the four images of eyes that look to all four directions of the world.

You can make wishes here. They say it will come true.
