More Details To Come Soon!

Parking/Public Transportation/Carpool/Ride Share

GSTDL is located in a residential area with limited street parking. There is no parking lot available at the center. We encourage students to use alternative methods of transportation such as the bus (https://ridelbt.com/), carpool, or use ride share services to our center. This will help minimize traffic and parking congestion in the residential areas.

If you do bring a vehicle and park on the streets, please make sure you read the signs carefully to avoid parking tickets.

Housing Recommendations

For those that are interested in housing information, we recommend using Airbnb and Vrbo for short term stays. Enter "Gaden Shartse Thubten Dhargye Ling" for location. This will generate surrounding housing, although not necessarily close (or walking distance) to our center. Other methods of transportation may be needed.
