Beri Gonpa, Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Garzê County, China

The monastery complex features rammed earth walls, residential buildings, and an assembly hall surrounded by boundary walls at 3000 meters elevation.

Founded in 1649 by Ngawang Puntsok, a disciple of the Fifth Dalai Lama, Beri Gonpa emerged from an older hermitage called Gela Daden.

The monastery maintains traditional Tibetan Buddhist practices and serves as a center for religious ceremonies in the Trehor region of Kham.

The monastery receives protection status at both national and provincial levels, with ongoing restoration projects preserving its architectural elements.

During the Long March, the monastery's connection with the Red Army through the Fifth Geta Lama prevented its destruction in the Cultural Revolution.
