The upper Tantra College ( Tib. Rgyud stod grwa tshang ) was in 1474 by Gyuchen Künga Döndrub ( rgyud chen kun dga don grub ; 1419-1486), a pupil of Jetsün Sherab Sengge ( RJE btsun shes rab scorching ge ; 1383-1445) , who left the Lower Tantra College ( rgyud smad gra tshang ) when he was not elected abbot there.

Together with the Lower Tantra College, it is one of the two most important tantric teaching institutions of the Gelug tradition.

The Upper Tantra College was originally located in what is now Maizhokunggar County (Meldro Gongkar). Shortly after its inception, it was transferred to the Ramoche Monastery in Lhasa , the site of the statue of Buddha brought to Tibet by King Songtsen Gampo .

The tradition of the monastery was continued in Indian exile, first in the Gyütö Tantric College in Dalhousie , Himachal Pradesh , then in the Gyuto Monastery in Sidhbari , Dharamsala , Kangra , Himachal Pradesh.
