Gebchak Nunnery
改加觉姆寺
A large nunnery on a high mountain, famous for its tradition of nuns' meditation retreats, with small monks' quarters densely covering the mountainside.
Gebchak Nunnery is on a high mountain in the west of Nangqian County. It is one of the larger nunneries in the Kham region and is known for its strict tradition of meditation retreat. Small quarters cover the slopes, creating a distinctive scene. This is a place of religious practice, not a tourist site, so keep your voice down, dress modestly, do not enter the retreat areas, and do not photograph the nuns without permission. The journey is long and the altitude is high, so hire a local vehicle and check in advance whether the site is open to visitors.
