About
Sakya Tangyud is a small monastery in Old Kaza, one of only a handful of Sakya-school gompas in India. The current building retains original murals and hosts regular prayer sessions. It is quieter than other Spiti monasteries, offering a good introduction to the Sakya tradition, a key cultural sight in Kaza.
