Beautiful monastery and a must visit when visiting Nubra. The building architecture is unique and situated on the hilltop. Opposite the monastery is the 106 ft statue of Maitreya Buddha overlooking the valley. There are 3 temples inside the monastery, one dedicated to the protector deities Mahakali and Sri Devi, one of Shakyamuni and the last one of Buddha. There is one more temple but was not open during our visit because of the Maintenance work going on. Interestingly this Gompa is one of the 4 Gompas that belongs to Hemis Group.
An incredible monestry to visit. I would suggest don't click photos but just be there in the moment and feel the energy in the atmosphere. Also many people don't visit the old monestry so I would say do visit it.
Must visit monastery when you are in Numbra Valley. The beautiful statue of Maitreya Buddha is the main attraction of this monastery. With paying nominal entry fees, you can visit this monastery. Limited parking space is available here. Washrooms are also available near entry gate.
Standing tall at 108ft is the Gorgeous Buddha statue. The monastery should be hiked. There's a gift shop for souvenirs and a small bakery sorts. The view from the Gompa is beautiful and you can see desert storms and magnificent sunsets at 8PM
Located on the top of the hill with huge statue. The parking are is the best place to click pictures of the valley
