Activities in Skurbuchan

  • Skurbuchan Monastery
    Set high on a hill overlooking the village, Skurbuchan Monastery is a spiritual centerpiece for the community. The gompa showcases vibrant murals, traditional Ladakhi woodwork, and serene prayer halls where rituals and teachings take place. It’s especially lively during religious festivals and also functions as a training center for novice monks, offering visitors a glimpse into monastic life.
  • Village Landscape & Traditional Homes
    Skurbuchan village unfolds in a patchwork of terraced fields and orchard groves, with homes built from stone and mud-brick. Narrow footpaths wind through the settlement, often lined with fluttering prayer flags. During summer, the village is lush with apricot and apple trees in full bloom. Villagers are often seen in traditional attire—women wearing colorful gonchas, turquoise-laden peraks, and handcrafted jewelry, adding to the village’s cultural richness.
  • Skurbuchan Festival
    One of the highlights of the local calendar, the annual Skurbuchan Festival features Cham dances performed in elaborate masks and costumes, accompanied by traditional music and sacred chants. The event draws villagers from across the region and offers a vibrant, immersive experience for travelers looking to witness authentic Ladakhi Buddhist traditions.
