Gyuto Monastery, also called Gyuto Tantric Monastery or the Upper Tantric College, stands at Sidhbari, a short way from lower Dharamshala. The monastery traces its origin to 1474, when Jey Kunga Dondrub founded Gyuto in Lhasa as a tantric college of the Gelug tradition. After 1959 a group of its monks followed the 14th Dalai Lama into exile, and the community was later re-established in India; the present monastery is at Sidhbari. The official monastery site gives the address as P.O. Sidhbari, Dharamshala. The 17th Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, has spoken of living at Gyuto Tantric College in Sidhbari for many years after arriving in India.
