These age-old collections are remarkably preserved by the Archaeological Survey of India. This monastery is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that comprises of several temples, assembly halls, and residential quarters for the monks. Its main temple called the Tsuglagkhang Temple is the largest structure of the complex and the most important one. The main highlight here is the mega statue of Maitreya Buddha (the future Buddha). You would also find intricately-designed wall paintings of various deities, spiritual idols and idols of the Great Buddha. The monastery is open to visitors, and tourists can explore its various structures and soak in the spiritual ambiance. The serene surroundings and ancient architecture make Tabo Monastery a popular destination in our North India tours for travelers interested in Buddhism, art, and history. Travel Tips: Best time to visit – end of May to June (Summers) and October-February (Winters). However for tourists, we recommend visiting here during end of June to August as the weather is tolerably cold. Also, must carry a set of woollens and enough drinking water to keep you going and hydrated. While the attractions here are worth capturing, you must note that photography is not allowed inside the monasteries.
