Key Gompa (monastery)

Kye Gompa is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery located on top of a hill at an altitude of 4,166 metres above sea level, close to the Spiti River, in the Spiti Valley of Himachal Pradesh, Lahaul and Spiti district, India. It is the biggest monastery of Spiti Valley and a religious training centre for lamas.
I spent a couple of weeks along this river valley....fascinating high altitude Tibetan communities. It is very, very remote, and cut off for at least 6 months of the year by high, snow covered passes, close to 5000meters.
