Monasteries in Indus valley

Immerse yourself into the Buddhist culture of Ladakh

Ladakh literally means 'Land of the high passes'. It is a Buddhist kingdom with many of the oldest monasteries of tibetan buddhism.

Despite the arid landscapes of the Indus and its tributaries, every village and monastery appears as an oasis, as the villagers and monks organize their land into fertile terraces by channeling the flowing torrents of glacial water towards their land.

The most popular monasteries are :

On the East side of Leh : Shey, Thicksey, Stakna, Hemis and Takthok.
On the West side of Leh : Stok, Likir, Alchi and Lamayuru
