Alchi is situated 70 kms. from Leh. It is the only Gompa in Ladakh to have been built on flat ground. The gompa was built in 11th century by the great translater Ringchen Zangpo. This Gompa is considered to be among the most extensive examples of Buddhist art in Kashmir. The region around Alchi was once vital for trade and cultural contact with the rest of India. When Islamic armies entered the subcontinent, thereafter the Buddhist monuments and monasteries were ones that suffered most under the hands of iconoclasm. However, Alchi, escaped destruction including some of the 900-year-old paintings and murals. The complex of Choskhor consists five separate temples, various residential buildings and scattered chortens. Among the oldest buildings are Dukhang and Sumtsek temple.

A short distance from Alchi is the SASPUL village which is worth a visit for its hidden cave temple.
