Tabo, a quaint village in the Spiti Valley of Himachal Pradesh, is famed for its historic Tabo Monastery, one of the oldest in the Himalayas, dating back to 996 AD. Known as the “Ajanta of the Himalayas,” this monastery is an architectural marvel with intricately painted murals, ancient statues, and a serene ambiance that draws visitors into the spiritual essence of Tibetan Buddhism. Surrounded by rugged mountains, Tabo offers travelers not only an immersive cultural experience but also stunning views of the Spiti River and the stark, otherworldly landscapes typical of this high-altitude desert region.
Just a short drive from Tabo lies Dhankar, a picturesque village perched dramatically on a cliff overlooking the confluence of the Spiti and Pin rivers. Dhankar’s main attraction is the Dhankar Monastery, a 1000-year-old structure with breathtaking views and a history as rich as its precarious location. This ancient site, along with the nearby Dhankar Lake, which requires a short trek, is a popular spot for those seeking tranquility amidst nature’s grandeur. Together, Tabo and Dhankar offer travelers an enchanting blend of culture, spirituality, and panoramic views, making them essential stops in the mystical Spiti Valley.
