Historical, Cultural Experiences & Spiritual Significance of Diskit

Diskit has been a significant cultural and spiritual center in Nubra Valley since the 14th century.
The Diskit Monastery (also known as Diskit Gompa) is affiliated with the Gelugpa (Yellow Hat) sect of Tibetan Buddhism and was founded by Changzem Tserab Zangpo under the guidance of Tsongkhapa.
The monastery played a vital role in consolidating Buddhism in northern Ladakh and has historically acted as a guardian of the region’s cultural and spiritual legacy.
Today, it continues to serve as an active monastic institution, hosting religious festivals and teachings while welcoming travelers and pilgrims from across the world
