Kardang मोनास्तेरी
This monastery is located in the erstwhile capital of Lahaul, the village of Kardang. At an altitude of 3500 m, this monastery is around 5 km away from Keylong across the Bhaga river. The architecture of the monastery, believed to be built in the 12th century, is typically Lahaul and Spiti style. There is a big library consisting Kangyur and Tangyur volumes of Buddhist scriptures in Bhoti. Also to be seen are beautiful thangkas paintings and musical instruments such as lutes, drums, horns and old weapons. Colourful frescoes and murals are yet another attractions of the monastery.
