Located in the remote Changtang plateau near the India-China border, Nyoma Monastery is one of Ladakh’s oldest spiritual hubs. Set against stark mountains and wide plains, it reflects the deep-rooted Buddhist heritage of the region.

In 2019, when travelers could finally visit nearby Hanle, the monks of Nyoma were attending teachings by His Holiness the Gyalwang Drukpa—an influential spiritual leader known for empowering nuns and preserving Himalayan traditions. Even in its quiet, the monastery remains deeply connected to Ladakh’s evolving spiritual journey.
