Gue Monastery is a small and peaceful Buddhist monastery in the Spiti Valley of Himachal Pradesh, India. It is located quietly in a tiny village called Gue, near the border of Tibet. This place is special not just for its beauty but because it holds something very rare—a 500-year-old mummy!
The mummy is of a Buddhist monk named Sangha Tenzin. People believe he went into deep meditation and mummified himself. Even today, you can see his well-preserved body sitting in a glass box inside the monastery. His skin, teeth, and even hair can still be seen clearly.
Gue Monastery is surrounded by tall, rocky mountains and silent landscapes.
The air here is pure, and the views are magical. Not many tourists come here during their Spiti trip, so it feels peaceful and untouched but the monks living here are kind and welcome visitors warmly.
