40 km from Leh, towards Chang La. A visit to Chemrey Monastery, known locally as Chemde, is a must. Isolated in the valley, it stands proudly on a hill. There are around 300 monks on site, who are delighted to welcome (rare) visitors, open the doors of the lakhang (sanctuaries) and, English permitting, answer any questions you may have. November sees the Chemrey Angchok Festival. This colorful two-day festival celebrates the cultural diversity of Ladakh and its peoples. Music performances, masked folk dances and a parade on the final day.
