Trandruk Monastery

Trandruk monastery lies on the southern side Mt. Gangpo Ri, on the east bank of the Yarlung River, about 2 kilometers south of Tradrug. It is one of the earliest Buddhist monasteries in Tibet which attracts many pilgrims and visitors.

Trandruk was built during the reign of Songtsan Gampo, and later extensionswere designed by Juequjian of it. It's said Princess Wencheng stayed and practised Buddhism here at one time and left some relics. Trandruk later converted to Gelugpa and experienced large-scale reconstruction and later it belonged to Gelupa (one of the Sects of Tibetan Buddhism).
