Basgo Monastery

  • Basgo Monastery

Located at a distance of 40 km. from Leh, the Basgo Monastery is perched at a hilltop overlooking the ruins of the Basgo town that once served as a political and cultural centre of Ladakh. Despite of Basgo’s rich heritage and history, the town and the monastery do not find a place on a conventional tourist’s map. If you are a history buff at heart and like going off the beaten track to explore new destinations immersed in the rich past of a glorious era, Basgo is a place for you. Stop by at the town for some time and revel in the basking glory of the monastery that looks amazingly stunning during evening when the setting rays of sun cover it in the hues of gold and orange – a perfect venue and ambience for photographers to click some memorable pictures. The monastery is home to three temples, each adorning 16th century original and vibrant murals showcasing incidents from Buddha’s life and illustrating thoughtful moods of various Buddhist Gods. The collection undoubtedly is a real delight for historians and art-lovers. A 14 metres high gilded statue of Maitreya Buddha in one of the temples is an additional highlight of the monastery.
