Sakya Tangyud Monastery is considered to be a very ancient Tungyad monastery by the local people of the region, for almost 800 years. But a recent earthquake in 1972 completely destroyed the entire ancient structure which was originally believed to be somewhere near Hikkim Village. Its restoration was done by the 14th Gyalwa Karmapa, a revered spiritual leader of the Karma Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism. This sacred site was built with the noble intention of promoting Buddhism and preserving the unique cultural heritage of the region and still serves as a major pilgrimage site since it is one of the only two established Sakye sect Gompas in Spiti Valley. It is one of the best monasteries in Spiti Valley to witness on your getaway!
The architecture of the monastery reflects traditional Tibetan architecture, with its pagoda-like roof and colorful prayer flags flying in the wind. Sakya Tangyud Monastery serves as a center for Buddhist learning for everyone visiting this quaint village.
One can enjoy the enthralling bird’s eye view of the entire Kaza Valley because this monastery is perched at an altitude of 4,520 meters 14,830 ft, on the edge of a deep canyon and overlooking the town of Kaza.
