Korzok Monastery, Buddhist monastery in Karzok, India
The Korzok Monastery stands at 4,560 meters on the northwestern bank of Tso Moriri lake in the Ladakh region of India.
The monastery, founded by Kunga Lodro Ningpo as its third Rinpoche, has maintained its position as the headquarters of Rupshu Valley for 300 years.
The monastery houses seventy monks who maintain ancient thangka paintings and oversee traditional Buddhist ceremonies throughout the year.
Visitors need permits from Leh to access the monastery, which sits 215 kilometers southeast of the city through mountainous terrain.
The Korzok Gu-stor festival brings nomadic herdsmen to the monastery for two days of masked dances representing Buddhist guardian deities.
