Sêrtar County, Administrative county in Garzê Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, China

The mountainous territory of Sêrtar County extends across 9,340 square kilometers in northwestern Sichuan Province at an elevation of 4,127 meters above sea level.

The county became part of the Garzê Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in 1955 when eastern Xikang merged with Sichuan following the establishment of the People's Republic of China.

The population of 64,681 residents maintains Tibetan traditions through local dialects, religious practices, and the presence of numerous Buddhist monasteries across the region.

Travelers need to prepare for significant temperature variations ranging from 30 degrees Celsius in summer to minus 25 degrees Celsius during winter months.

The Larung Gar Buddhist Institute, located 15 kilometers from the town center, has developed into the largest Tibetan Buddhist educational center worldwide.
