Phuktal Gompa, Zanskar











The origins of Phuktal Gompa are said to be traced back to a monk who attained enlightenment in a cave 2000 years ago. It is from this cave that the Phuktal monastery arose in its present day form. Inhabited by over 70 monks and a three days walk from the main town of Zanskar one feels a million miles away from the 21st century.
