Phyang Monastery, Buddhist monastery in Leh district, India
Built on a hilltop, Phyang Monastery rises above Fiang village with white walls and red trim, displaying traditional Tibetan architectural elements.
Founded in 1515 and later supported by King Tashi Namgyal, the monastery became a center of the Drikung Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism.
The monks perform sacred Cham dances during the annual Gang-Sngon Tsedup festival, following the traditional Tibetan lunar calendar celebrations.
Located 17 kilometers west of Leh, the monastery remains open to visitors from May to September, with guided tours lasting approximately three hours.
The monastery museum exhibits a collection of 900-year-old artifacts, including Tibetan scriptures, Mongolian firearms, and religious paintings from various periods.
