Ladakh Travel Packages
Through a bridge at Tungri which is just 8Kms of Pudum one can reach Karsha, which is know for its Karsha Gompa,It is Zanskar's largest Gelug- pa gompa and is looked after by Likir.It is a neatly whitewashed building that houses many chapels, The Individual monk's quaters & temples dates back to 10-14th centuries.The 3-day long Gustor Festival is held here during early July. Karsha can be reached by four hours Hike, By road or by three hours raft on the doda. to hike up at the gompa one has to start in early morning due to mid afternoon icy storms, this small hike is a real test of endurance & is possible for athletic & determined travellors. En-route to Karsha there is another big Gompa at Sani,which is the oldest in Zanskar & the only one built on the valley floor.

The gompa of Sani is closely related with my my episodes of Mythology & History as well. Behind the main temple is "Kanishka Chorten" which is believed to be established by Kushan King Kanishka during 1-2 century,The main hall houses a prayer hall with an array of statues of Buddhist legends and the Drugpa. there are two other temple one of them is permanently locked, where "Naropa" is said to have Meditated 900 years back , other one is "La-khang" which enshrines unique bsa-reliefs of gold faced icons of manifestations of Guru Padmasambhava , apart from the remple there is one 2 mts high stone figure of "Maitreya" carved out some time between 8-9 centuries.
