LocationLhasa, China

Sera Monastery is one of the "great three" Gelug university monasteries of Tibet, located 1.25 miles north of Lhasa and about 5 km north of the Jokhang.

The origin of its name is attributed to a fact that during construction, the hill behind the monastery was covered with blooming wild roses.

The original Sera Monastery is responsible for some 19 hermitages, including four nunneries, which are all located in the foothills north of Lhasa.
