| 1000 year old Tabo monastery |
Tabo is another beautiful scenic little town located in the Lahaul and Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh. Tabo is located at an altitude of 3050 metres. From Chandigarh it will take you 8 hours by road (around 490 kms).It is around 45 kms from Kaza.
From my cousin Soma who went for a trip to Himachal Pradesh
recently, I found that Tabo is indeed quite a special place, not only because of its scenic beauty but also because it houses a Buddhist monastery which is over a 1000
years old. But that is not what lends it the uniqueness, the fact that the monastery is made out of mud is what totally amazed me!
I found out from Wikipedia that his Holiness the Dalai Lama considers this monastery in Tabo as one of the holiest monasteries in the world.
I am sharing some pictures of the Tabo monastery. These pictures are courtesy my cousin Soma Jha.
