Rizong monastery

Listed under Churches & Abbeys in Kashmir, India.

A stunning monastery 70km out of Leh in Ladakh, high in the Himalaya. Isolated and magnificent, well worth the 3 hr bus journey from Leh through beautiful scenery. A working monastery, founded in 1829, with a school for children.

Written by James Dunford Wood.
