Hemis Monastery
An exemplification of spiritual devotion and architectural grandeur.
One of the region’s most revered Buddhist monastic establishments, Hemis is also amongst Ladakh’s biggest and perhaps one of the oldest and richest monasteries. The 17th-century monastery seamlessly fuses spirituality and craftsmanship amidst yet another peaceful landscape.
The monastery’s architecture marries intricate details, vivid murals, and a unique amalgamation of Tibetan and Indian influences. The central courtyard, adorned with prayer flags that flutter in harmony with the mountain breeze, serves as the heart of the monastery. The intricate woodwork, vibrant thangka paintings, and the ornate Tshogkhang assembly hall collectively create an ambiance that transcends time. Hemis also hosts one of the most famous monastic festivals held every year during June / July to celebrate the birth of Guru Padmasambhava.
