While
some people are intrigued by the awe-inspiring desert mountainscape of Ladakh,
there are some, who find a calling in the monasteries of Ladakh. The
monasteries of Ladakh situated in several scenic pockets of the Himalayan
hills, valleys and mountains have been beckoning the spirituality seekers since
time immemorial with their monastic lifestyle. Ladakh beams with the radiance
of not only the sun rising from behind the majectic snow peaks but also with
the radiance of the golden Gompas and its enlightened monks and nuns. But then
again, Ladakh monasteries are not just about spirituality. These buildings are
repositories of several fascinating things of archaeological interest. Most of
these gompas of Ladakh are years old and within their sacred walls they have
preserved some of the ancient most Thangka art, artifacts and paintings. Therefore,
most monasteries are open to the tourists to come and admire their collections
of art and architecture and at the same time get a close view of their spiritual
lifestyle. The popular monasteries to visit in Leh and Ladakh are Hemis
gompa, shanti stupa, Namgyal Tsemo Gompa, Sankar Gompa, Lamayuru Monastery, Shey
Monastery, Alchi Gompa, Likir Monastery, Spituk Monastery and Thiksey Monastery.
