Visit the monasteries in the region on a day trip, and trek to the Markha Valley, well planned by Ju-Leh Adventure. Thiksey Monastery
The monastery or gompa of Thiksey is the largest in Ladakh. The Gelukpa sect of Buddhism is practiced here and the location and architecture are worth seeing.
It is a 12-story monastery and the statue of the future Buddha Maitreya stretches over 2 floors and is 40 feet high. Morning prayer is an attraction here and the vibrations of the prayer make you feel fresh and calm. Apart from the monastery, there are many stupas, thangkas, murals, and swords to see here.
In the main prayer room, there is a 12-meter-high Buddha statue. The morning and evening prayers have a calming effect on the soul and the vibrations transport you to another world. From here you can see the beautiful Indus Valley and some other monasteries like Matho, Shey, and Stok.
