Phuktal Monastery
Zanskar, Jammu & Kashmir, IndiaAbout
If you're into trekking then the isolated Phuktal monastery should definitely be on your list of monasteries to visit! The way in which it's been constructed out of the mouth of a huge cave (Phuk means cave) and down into the side of a cliff, fronting a gaping gorge, is simply awe-inspiring. There's a river below, and visitors must cross a suspension bridge to reach the monastery.
