[Hanley Monastery, Ladakh, India] A hidden Tibetan Buddhist temple nestled in the starry sky

Hanley, a hidden gem in southeastern Ladakh, is home to the Tibetan Buddhist holy site Hanley Gompa, quietly towering at an altitude of approximately 4,500 meters.
Few visitors, however, make this a truly hidden gem, offering a unique experience of untouched nature and a solemn atmosphere of prayer.

👀Highlights✨

🕉️A Historic Buddhist Holy Site
Hanley Gompa is a historic monastery built in the 17th century,
and one of the important centers of the Drukpa (Red Cap) sect.

Of Ladakh's many gompas, it is one of the least visited, with prayers observed in profound silence.

🌆A Stunning View in Harmony
The monastery stands on a plateau overlooking the valley, surrounded by barren mountains.
Small villages dot the landscape below, and at night, a star-filled sky shines. The beautiful landscape, where nature and architecture blend together, is sure to soothe the soul of any visitor.

🌌The Unique Charm of Hanley
Buddha statues and ancient scriptures are enshrined inside the gompa, where monks continue their training even today.

Also located nearby is the world's leading high-altitude observatory, Hanley Observatory, offering a unique experience of calming your mind during the day and gazing at the starry sky at night.

📝Basic Information
📍Access: Approximately 9 hours (250 km) by car from Leh
💰Admission Fee: Free
🕰️Opening Hours: Approximately 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
⚠️Notes: Due to the high altitude, it is recommended to acclimatize in Leh before visiting. As this is a protected area, a permit is required in advance.

Hanley Gompa is not a glamorous tourist destination, but a place to clear your mind and focus.

The experience of the majestic Ladakh mountains, tranquil prayer, and the starry night sky is sure to be an unforgettable memory.
