4Phugtal Gompa

A Buddhist monastery situated in the remote Lungnak valley in Zanskar, India, is around 2550 years old.

Before the monastery, its remote location served as an abode for Buddhist monks due to its transcendental nature. Built around an old cave, the term, Phugtal means “Liberation” in the Zanskari language, and the flowing water beneath the monastery possesses healing properties. The two villages, Ammu and Cha, are located close to Phugtal and are worth exploring for relaxation.
