Diskit Monastery

Gain an insight into Tibetan Buddhism

Diskit monastery built in 1420 AD is perched on a cliff-face overlooking lush valleys of fruiting orchards. Founded by the Gelugpa, or yellow hat sect of Tibetan Buddhism, the Crowned Buddha statues with its fierce guardian deities forms the centerpiece at Diskit monastery. This monastery is the oldest in the region and also provides a stunning sunset view. A long standing modern day made Buddha by the side adds to the interest. Interact with the monks to better understand the different sects and their origins.
