The Spiritual Charm of Seda Tibet
Far in the eastern plateau of Seda Tibet, lies one of the world’s most visually arresting and spiritually moving destinations — the Seda Larung Gar Five Sciences Buddhist Academy. It’s not just a place you visit; it’s a place you feel.
Did you know? With over 10,000 monks and nuns, this is the largest Tibetan Buddhist institute on Earth — yet few travelers know it exists.
Your Journey to Seda: A Step-by-Step Guide
Reaching Seda Tibet is no easy feat — a 12 to 14-hour journey through winding mountain roads, often reaching altitudes over 4,000m. But every curve of the road brings you closer to something truly surreal.
Travel Tip: Most travelers take a private car from Chengdu or join a highland tour. It’s a long ride, but the landscapes are postcard-perfect.
