Key Monastery lets you explore the culture of Spiti from within. You will be mesmerized by the historical architecture and sculptures, which have been a major attraction for travelers for a long time, and one of the best monasteries in Spiti. It is only 14 kilometers from Kaza and must be visited by anyone coming to the middle land!
Step inside, and you’re greeted by the soft glow of butter lamps and the beautiful hum of monks chanting—a soothing rhythm that seems to resonate in your mind. The centuries-old murals and manuscripts tell stories of devotion and tradition, while the simple beauty of the place invites you to pause and reflect.
Also known as the “Monastery at the center of the Mandala”, it is the largest monastery in the whole Spiti Valley. It is home to around 200 monks who receive a secular and religious education up to the tenth grade before going on to more advanced Buddhist teachings. You must not miss out on this beauty in your Spiti valley packages.
