Ganden Monastery is located at the top of Wangbur Mountain, 36 kilometers ENE from the Potala Palace in Lhasa, at an altitude of 4300m. Ganden had a population of 6,000 monks in the early 20th century. It was the original monastery of the Geluk order, founded by Tsongkhapa in 1409.

The Ganden Monastery was completely destroyed following the Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1959, and since the 1980s has been re-building.
