About

Spituk Monastery, also known as Spituk Gompa, is a prominent Buddhist monastery located just 8 km from Leh in the serene village of Spituk. Established in the 11th century by Od-de, it initially belonged to the Kadampa School but was later taken over by the Gelugpa sect of Tibetan Buddhism in the 15th century.

Perched on a hilltop overlooking the Indus River, the monastery offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes. It houses a collection of ancient Thangkas (scroll paintings), scriptures, statues, and masks used in various Buddhist rituals.
