Stakna is another hilltop monastery 25km from Leh, built in 1580.
I attempted to access it from Hemis, but unfortunately the road was not great so never actually got to see it up close. As a result, welcome to my shortest blog post ever ! 🙂
You’re best off visiting it from the main road shortly after Thikse. The (now slightly flawed) itinerary for the day was :
- Shey Gompa
- Thikse Gompa
- Chemde Gompa
- Hemis Gompa
- Stakna Gompa
- …and then back to Leh
If you’re interested in using any of my photography or articles please get in touch. I’m also available for any freelance work worldwide, my duffel bag is always packed ready to go…
