Larung gar is the buddha institute for monks and nuns in Tibet. Larung Gar Buddhist Academy, also known as Serthar Buddhist Institute, lies within the Larung Valley, at a peak of 4.000 meters, sitting only 15 kilometers away from Sertar, in Sertar County, Garze Prefecture. Traditionally, the area is famous by the name of Kham, the Tibetan region of West Sichuan, China. Several monks at Larung Gar told me that there are at least 40,000 people living there and possibly more.
