Thiksay Gustor

Thiksay Gustor festival is held in Thiksey monastery, which is only 19 km from Leh and is perhaps the most visited monastery after Hemis, on account of its excellent maintenance and impressive Potala-like location, along the rising slopes of a hill, overlooking many picturesque villages strung along the Indus river. Today it is a one of the major Gelugpa monastery with about 100 monks. The mystic dances here are considered to be among the most impressive in Ladakh
