Why take this tour?

Atitsey Monastery, in the region of Lamayuru, is a place whose roots of spirituality goes back to the days of Naropa, the Indian Buddhist Mahasiddha. Naropa was also a contemporary of Atiśa, the Tibetan Buddhist Mahasiddha. The sense of spirituality since back then has been continued till today. On this journey to Atitsey Monastery, we will stopover at a beautiful spot of the river confluence. The confluence shows the clear distinguishing colors of Indus and Zanskar Rivers. Unlike other monasteries, this site has a collection of unique artifacts. The day will be well spent traveling through beautiful landscapes, visiting and exploring the unique heritage. The experience would be entirely complete with a Ladakhi meal in the authentic Ladakhi setup. The monastery has recently been electrified by Global Himalayan Expedition using solar micro-grids. The infrastructure has helped the local monks to spend more time in monastery for religious practices.
