Ladakh's Sacred Monasteries

Ladakh's spiritual landscape is defined by centuries-old Tibetan Buddhist monasteries perched on rugged hillsides. This collection features prominent Gelugpa and Drukpa institutions, including the 12-story Thiksey Gompa and the isolated Hemis Monastery. The list encompasses diverse sacred architecture, from the white-domed Shanti Stupa built by Japanese Buddhists to the 11th-century murals of Alchi. Beyond Buddhism, it includes Gurdwara Pathar Sahib, a 16th-century Sikh site commemorating Guru Nanak's visit to the region.
