Our camps celebrate the profound philosophy of the Himalayan landscape—where monasteries stand as ancient bastions of wisdom, prayer flags flutter with blessings on the mountaintops, and communities preserve traditions that have flourished for centuries.
Perched majestically atop a hill, Thiksey Monastery stands as one of Ladakh's most iconic and architecturally significant monasteries. Its twelve-story complex houses temples, assembly halls, and residences for over 100 monks who continue to practice and preserve Tibetan Buddhism. Our camp's proximity to this spiritual center offers guests unparalleled access to morning prayers, meditation sessions, and cultural exchanges with the monastic community. Through our partnerships with the monastery's leadership, we've established programs that allow visitors to immerse in spiritual tranquility while directly contributing to the welfare of the monastic and village community.
...immerse in spiritual tranquility while directly contributing to the welfare of the monastic and village community.The oldest and largest monastery in the Nubra Valley, Diskit has stood as a spiritual fortress since the 14th century. Dominated by a towering 32-meter statue of Maitreya Buddha, the monastery complex overlooks vast stretches of desert, river valleys, and snow-capped peaks. Our guests experience privileged access to festivals like Dosmoche, where masked monks perform sacred dances representing a symbolic dance of good over evil. Through our cultural preservation initiatives, we help maintain the monastery's ancient texts, artifacts, and educational programs for young monks who carry these traditions into the future.
