Dig into a Unique Blend of Buddhist and Tibetan Culture in Ladakh
Buddhist monasteries are one of the most unique features that attract travellers to Ladakh, year after year. In spite of the rugged landscape and difficulty of access, monks and preachers came to Ladakh and erected more than 100 Buddhist monasteries from one corner to another. Many of these monasteries serve as spiritual and educational centres spreading Buddhism. If you are planning to explore a living heritage of the Buddha, Ladakh is the place to be. A unique blend of Buddhist and Tibetan culture awaits your arrival in Ladakh. This is your opportunity to dig into the teachings of Buddha and witness how monks live, pray and meditate.
After your arrival, enjoy a fun-filled sightseeing tour of Old and New Delhi. Next day, board your flight to Leh in Ladakh. Get acclimatized and take a stroll through the Leh Market before getting started with your monasteries tour. Attend prayers at the Thiksey Monastery, which is 600 years old. Later, drive to the Hemis Monastery, another famous Buddhist monastery in Leh. The Shey Palace, erected during the 16th century, is your next halt. Next morning, visit the Spituk Monastery and the Phyang Monastery which is popular for the dramatic mask dance.
