Matho Monastery, Buddhist monastery in Leh district, India.

Matho Monastery, also called Matho Gonpa or Mangtro Gonpa, stands at about 3,600 m at the mouth of a deep gorge of the Zanskar Range, on the Indus opposite Thikse Monastery. Most buildings are dilapidated; a new assembly hall (du-khang) built in 2005 holds colourful paintings and a Sakyamuni Buddha statue. A small top-storey chapel contains images of Sakya Pandita and other Sakya lamas, with an adjoining museum of old thangkas.

Matho Monastery was founded in 1410 by Lama Dugpa Dorje and belongs to the Sakya Order, the only Sakyapa house in Ladakh alongside Skidmang. Its thangkas, some thought to have been brought from Tibet when the monastery was founded in the first half of the 15th century, date back to the 14th century. The French source places the foundation in the first part of the 16th century.

The monastery is known for hosting an oracle festival each year, where two monks enter a trance state after deep meditation to offer predictions and guidance to visitors and local people. This event draws pilgrims seeking answers to personal questions.

The site is about a half hour drive from Leh and accessible by taxi, motorcycle, or organized transport. A steep uphill path leads from the landing area to the complex, so wear sturdy shoes and dress for mountain conditions.

The complex houses its own museum displaying hand-painted religious scrolls and ceremonial masks worn during traditional rituals. These objects span different periods and show the artistic history of the monastic community.
