Explore the Monasteries of Amdo

Below is a list of the monasteries in the northeastern cultural Tibetan area known as Amdo. This interactive list displays the name of the monastery in phonetic transcription and Extended Wylie transliteration; the county, the prefecture, and the province in which it is found; and links to resources related to that monastery, including its location on an interactive map and any descriptive essays of that monastery. All places – monasteries, counties, prefectures, and provinces – are linked to the entry for that place in the THL Place Dictionary. Clicking on a column header will sort the table according to that column in ascending alphabetical order.
