A narrow path meanders through the densely forested slopes around the building complex on the outskirts of the city. Prayer flag cords stretch across the trees, criss-cross like cobwebs. The slopes are littered with many stones, painted with colorful mantras. After this morning walk you enter the temple complex. Start with a visit of the Tibet Museum where you will learn about Tibetian Culture and the Struggle Tibetian People are facing since the Chinese have invaded and taken over their homeland.

At the east end of the garden there is a large memorial built in memory of those who died here.
