46 km from Leh, 7 km from Chemrey, on the road to Pangong Tso, take the path to Sakti. This magnificent 16th-century monastery is the only Nyingmapa monastery in the region. To reach it, climb a few steps up to the rock-encrusted gompa . Don't miss the cave where the guru Padmasambhava meditated in the 8th century: the place, called Tu-Phog, is quiet and conducive to meditation. It contains ancient frescoes blackened by the smoke of butter lamps, and the usual statues, photos, relics and other cult objects. A mystical atmosphere pervades this unique sacred site.
