26 km from Leh. Matho Gompa (admission Rs. 50), dating from the 16th century, is perched at an altitude of 3,600 m, opposite Thiksey Gompa on the other side of the Indus River. It is the only Sakyapa monastery in Ladakh. Some sixty monks live in this gompa overlooking the Indus valley. The small, dark room on the top floor is well worth a visit: the floor is covered with barley seeds and the walls bear various weapons. Next to it is a room containing ancient objects linked to the monastery. Renovation work is underway, particularly on the thangkas, and a museum is planned.
