Gyuto Monastery
རྒྱུད་སྟོད་
A Tibetan Buddhist Tantric monastery in Sidhbari, with a golden-roofed main hall backed by the Dhauladhar peaks, known for its deep chanting.
Gyuto Monastery was originally in Lhasa and was rebuilt here after the exile. The main hall is spacious and houses a huge Buddha statue. The courtyard in front is a good spot to photograph the golden roof framed against the snowy mountains. Admission is free, and monks chant in the evening. The Karmapa once resided here for many years. It is near Norbulingka, so both can be visited on the same day.
