Tabo Monastery

Often referred to as the “Ajanta of the Himalayas,” Tabo Monastery is one of the oldest functioning Buddhist enclaves in India, dating back to 996 AD. Its earthen halls, dimly lit by oil lamps, hold ancient murals, scriptures, and clay sculptures that have witnessed over a millennium of devotion. To visit Tabo is to step into a sacred museum of living heritage — deeply humbling, timelessly beautiful.
