Thiksey Monastery |
|
Ladakh's most photographed and architecturally impressive gompa is a Thiksey, 19km southeast of Leh. Founded in the 15th century, its whitewashed chortens and cubic monks quarters rise in ranks up the sides of a craggy bluff, crowned by an imposing ochre-and red painted temple complex whose gleaming golden finials are visible for miles in every direction. |
