Mulbekh Gompa

Situated at a distance of 160 km. from Leh on the way to Kargil, the Mulbekh Gompa is a unique monastery owing to the fact that it houses two monasteries, each belonging to a different set of Tibetan Buddhism. A 30 ft. tall sculpture of Maitreya Buddha carved out from a limestone rock dating back to 8th century is also a major attraction for tourists visiting the monastery. The sculpture is a remarkable piece of workmanship and stands tall basking in the glory of its rich history, providing ample opportunities for photographers to capture a masterpiece of their work. Besides the sculpture, the Mulbekh Gompa is a great stopover on your Ladakh trip to have a glimpse at the rare and ancient collection of Buddhist relics, edicts in ancient Kharosthi inscriptions, valuable frescoes and classic paintings that have been possessed by the monastery since ages.
