Activities in Likir

    The main attraction of Likir is the towering 75-foot (23-meter) golden statue of Maitreya Buddha (the Future Buddha), seated in open air with a dramatic mountainous backdrop. The monastery complex features ancient prayer halls, assembly chambers, sacred relics, and vibrant thangka paintings. Inside the Dukhang (main prayer hall), visitors can view a collection of old manuscripts, statues, and intricate frescoes.
  • Likir Museum:
    Located within the monastery, this small but captivating museum showcases ritual artifacts, ancient weapons, Buddhist scrolls, and ceramics. It provides insight into the historical and cultural roots of Ladakh and Tibetan Buddhism.
  • Village Landscape:
    Likir village offers serene walking trails through apricot orchards, barley fields, and traditional stone-built Ladakhi homes. The peaceful setting is ideal for travelers seeking an authentic rural Ladakhi experience.
  • School of Buddhist Studies:
    The monastery also functions as a school for novice monks. Visitors may witness prayer sessions, chanting rituals, or even classroom teachings, offering a glimpse into the spiritual and educational life of young monks.
