Lhalung Monastery, Buddhist monastery in Lahaul and Spiti district, India.
The Lhalung Monastery sits at an elevation of 3,658 meters, featuring ancient temples, prayer wheels, and traditional Buddhist architectural elements across its grounds.
Founded in the late 10th century by Buddhist translator Rinchen Zangpo, the monastery transitioned from Kadampa to Sakyapa tradition before becoming part of Gelugpa in the 17th century.
The monastery contains a collection of 101 Buddhist scriptures, Thangkas depicting Buddha's life, and a 12-foot statue of Guru Padmasambhava within its walls.
Located 14 kilometers from the main road, visitors can access the monastery between 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM to explore its religious artifacts and architecture.
A sacred tree near the monastery dates back to its founding, while the surrounding Tangmar mountain changes colors based on local deities' moods.
