Phuktal Monastery - The heart of Zanskar

Phuktal Monastery – A Hidden Gem in the Himalayas 🏔️🙏 Tucked into a cliffside cave in remote Zanskar, Ladakh, Phuktal Monastery is one of the most surreal places I’ve ever been. After hours of trekking through the Lungnak Valley, crossing rivers and narrow mountain paths, the moment you catch sight of this ancient monastery clinging to the rocks — it takes your breath away. No signal, no Wi-Fi, just chants, mountain silence, and raw beauty. Not for the faint of heart, but absolutely worth the journey.
