Diskit Monastery, a jewel of Ladakh's Buddhist heritage, rises majestically above the Shyok River in the remote Nubra Valley. This 14th-century fortress-like structure, affiliated with the Gelugpa sect of Tibetan Buddhism, is renowned for its striking architecture, colorful frescoes, and the imposing 32-meter statue of Maitreya Buddha that stands guard over the valley. Home to about 100 monks, Diskit Monastery not only serves as a spiritual haven but also offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding Karakoram range, making it a must-visit destination for both pilgrims and nature enthusiasts.
