Thiksey Monastery, Leh

A very beautiful monastery and by far worthy of a visit. Taking the stairs up ads to the experience. Easy to get to by taxi.

A very spiritual place, always very peaceful. Abe being in Ladakh adds to its overall charm. The statue of Buddha and the entire monastery itself look to be royal. The view from the top is stunning, you can see huge landscapes of Ladakh desert and distant snowy mountains.

It's a bit of a walk but totally worth it. There are 2 temples inside and the monks there are very friendly and will tell you all about the place. All they way at the top there is a pretty good view!

Thikse is one of the beautiful and main monastery in leh, Beautiful place with amazing surroundings. Just hike nearby mountain to enjoy amazing surrounding of the monastery.

Rumi once said "When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy."that is exactly how we felt when we visited the Thiksey Gompa. The most fortunate thing was that there was nobody in the monastery except us. We could never find ourselves at more peace. The group split for the firdst time in the journey and everyone became a wnderer. I found my own corner and kept gazing around. There was so much beauty to this place that suddenly feel envy of the people who live there. There is so much peace that you'll never want to leave this place. The entire leh valley looked like paradise from here. The small tunnels that open out to various parts of the monastery surprise you. How were monks able to build a place like this?? The stairs will suck the last gasp of oxygen from your lungs but I bet you won't stop from exploring this place entirely. Such a beautiful place to be, such a pretty sight.
