Ladakh’s charm lies in its monasteries. These spiritual centers are serene, scenic, and steeped in Buddhist culture.
🛕 Hemis Monastery – Largest and most famous; visit during Hemis Festival.
🛕 Thiksey Monastery – Resembles the Potala Palace of Tibet.
🛕 Diskit Monastery – Overlooks Nubra Valley with a giant Maitreya Buddha.
🛕 Spituk & Alchi Monastery – Rich in ancient murals and carvings.
🛕 Lamayuru – Moonland landscapes + the oldest gompa in Ladakh.
Dress modestly and be respectful inside monasteries. Try to attend the morning prayer rituals—it’s a divine experience.
