Monks At Yarchen Gar In Sichuan, China Editorial Image

Yarchen Gar not to be mistaken with Larung Gar, even tho both are located in close proximity to each other in the Garzê Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in western Sichuan Province in China. While Larung Gar has been closed down for foreign visitors since June 2016, So are Yarchen Gar open for foreign tourists There have been reports that foreigners have also been denied entry here, but during my visit in August 2017 was it no problem at all, but you will have to register with a police checkpoint about 4km before you reach Yarchen Gar, your passport and visa will be checked and registered!
