It is about 80 km west from Manigango. The only pass between Manigango and Shechen monastery is the Hai-Zi La pass (4500 meters), and it takes nearly 3 hours’ drive to cover this distance;

Sershul is about 150 northwest of Shechen , which may take 3-4 hours to cover this distance, and Sershul county is about another 3.5 hours drive to Yushu airport, which has direct flight to major cities of China, such as Beijing, Xining….

Alternative, Garze Gesar airport will be the nearest airport to this site

There is no bus to reach Shechen monastery, the possible way that you can use are:

  • To take the bus from Garze(Kanze) to Sershul, get off the bus at San Ca He, from which you will need to hitchhike for 20 kilometers to reach the valley entrance to Shechen monastery, which is about 300 meters westward at the bottom of the valley
  • The simpler way is to rent one local minibus from Manigango to Shechen , which may cost RMB 700.00 – 800.00 for a round trip within a day
