Saspol Village - Sham valley is situated in lower Ladakh and the western part of Leh with beautiful landscape, villages and monasteries. The trek along this valley is a gentle trek as the highest elevation does not rise above 4100m unlike other parts of Ladakh. There is ample time to explore monasteries and Buddhist culture during the trek as each day of walking is relatively short. The trail crosses numerous villages, some of which are very rich in terms of agricultural produce and resources. The people here have kept their Ladakhi ways of custom and tradition intact. This valley is also known as Apricot valley due the abundance of apricot orchards. Sham valley starts from Nimmo village and stretches up to Mulbek village. On this route are famous monasteries of Ladakh like Bazgo Palace, Likir Gompa, Saspol Cave and Gompa, Alchi Gompa, Ridzong Gompa, Mangue Gompa, Temisgang Palace, Wanla, Moonland and Lamayuru Monastery . Almost all of them are accessible by road, but some may only be reached by trekking and hiking. Each monastery in Ladakh is distinct in itself and for those who wish to experience the uniqueness of Ladakhi monasteries, repository of age old Tibetan Buddhism, this trek and tour is an ideal opportunity. There is also the option of staying in local houses during this trek as a part of our special service called village home-stay, where you can experience the Ladakhi way of living and taste some of the home made local delicacies foods at Alchi View Guest House (denmo house) Saspol Ladakh.

Statue of golden Buddha inside Bazgo Gompa - Leh, India
The mud-brick fortress of Basgo Gompa is perched high in the hills of Ladakh, between the Himalaya and Karakoram mountain ranges in northern India. The citadel and the three temples located within its rammed earth walls were built by Tibetan king Grags-pa-‘bum and his descendants in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries A.D. The Chamchung, Chamba Lakhang, and Serzang temples, located on a man-made mound in the center of the complex, are dedicated to the Maitreya Buddha—the fifth incarnation of Sakyamuni. The temple façades are brightly painted and their interior walls are covered with murals depicting vignettes from the life of Buddha and portraits of the temples’ benefactors. The largest of the three structures holds a 14-meter-high, gilded statue of the Maitreya Buddha. The surrounding population, including the occupants of the nearby Hemis monastery, continues to use the temples for ceremonies and holidays. Despite regular repairs made by the community, the temples faced significant structural challenges by the end of the twentieth century.
Basgo Gompa (Maitreya temples) was included on the 2000 World Monuments Watch to draw attention to the conservation needs of the complex. Water had infiltrated the main temple through cracks in its roof, causing damage to the statues, murals, and floor. The local community was fiercely committed to the preservation of the site, but lacked the financial means to address the problems. Although small donations subsidized emergency stabilization measures, more funding and technical assistance was required for a complete restoration. The temples were included again on the World Monuments Watch in 2002 and secured funds to address the conservation and training issues at the site. With additional help from the New Delhi-based Namgyal Institute for Research of Ladakhi Art and Culture, conservation began in earnest at Basgo Gompa. By the end of 2004, the two smaller shrines had been completely preserved and were functional once more. The roof of the main temple was repaired, its murals were consolidated and restored, and a proper retaining wall was erected around the perimeter.
Though much of Basgo Gompa fortress has deteriorated over the last four centuries since its construction, the three temples it protects have withstood the test of time. The Maitreya temples at Basgo Gompa are the oldest surviving religious structures of their kind, dedicated to the Buddha of the future. Although they exist in the stark, barren landscape of the Himalayas, they are still actively used and loved by the surrounding population. The nearby monastic community and the local lay people are equally dedicated to the repair and long-term preservation of these sixteenth- and seventeenth-century buildings. Today, the temples continue to perform their religious function with the improved conditions of their foundations, façades, and interior decoration.

Alchi Monastery/Gompa - Oldest Buddhist Monastery @ Ladakh
Alchi Monastery or Alchi Gompa is a Buddhist monastery, known more as a monastic complex (chos-'khor) of temples in Alchi village in the Leh District, of the Indian state under the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council of Jammu and Kashmir. The complex comprises four separate settlements in the Alchi village in the lower Ladakh region with monuments dated to different periods. Of these four hamlets, Alchi monastery is said to be the oldest and most famous. It is administered by the Likir Monastery.[1][2][3]
Alchi is also part of the three villages (all in lower Ladakh region) which constitute the ‘Alchi group of monuments’; the other two villages adjoining Alchi are the Mangyu and Sumda Chun. The monuments in these three villages are stated to be of “unique style and workmanship’, but the Alchi monastic complex is the best known.[1][2]
The monastery complex was built, according to local tradition, by the great translator Guru Rinchen Zangpo between 958 and 1055. However, inscriptions in the preserved monuments ascribe it to a Tibetan noble called Kal-dan Shes-rab later in the 11th century.[2][4] Dukhang or Assembly Hall and the Main Temple (gTsug-lag-khang), which is a three-storied temple called the Sumtseg (gSum-brtsegs), are built in Kashmiri style as seen in many monasteries; the third temple is called the Manjushri Temple ('Jam-dpal lHa-khang). Chortens are also an important part of the complex.[1][2]
The artistic and spiritual details of both Buddhism and the Hindu kings of that time in Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh are reflected in the wall paintings in the monastery. These are some of the oldest surviving paintings in Ladakh. The complex also has huge statues of the Buddha and elaborate wood carvings and art-work comparable to the baroque style.[2][5] Shakti Maira has vividly explained the beauty of this small monastery.[6]

Driving from Lamayuru to Nimmo in Ladakh - Part 1
The distance between Lamayuru to Nimu is 80.7 KMS. It takes around one hour and thirty four hours to reach Nimu from Lamayuru.
The all extreme and harsh valley of Nimu is located in the South eastern part of the Ladakh region. At an elevation of around 3000 meters, Nimu has Indus river flowing alongside it. Owing to such an altitude and topography of the region, there is nothing much to look around except the All India-rafting expedition which takes place on the river Indus flowing across the valley. Besides, rafting groups can also make way to the Zanskar river for some more river action.
Despite the untouched cold barrens, one can amazingly expect some sightseeing at the Basgo and Likir et Alchi monasteries which depict the Indus and Zanskar confluence. One can also visit the Pathar Sahib Gurudwara, which comes in the way while driving from Leh to Nimu. There is also a heritage hotel by the name of Nimu house in the region to explore.
Lamayuru or Yuru Monastery is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Lamayouro, [Leh district]], India. It is situated on the Srinagar-Leh highway 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) east of the Fotu La at a height of 3,510 metres (11,520 ft).
Nimo is a village in the Leh district of Jammu and Kashmir, India. It is located in the Leh tehsil, in the south-east Ladakh Region and is 35 km from Leh.
Nimu is a stop for all the river rafting groups and is the main starting point for the annually-held all-India river rafting expedition, which is done in the Indus River.

Lamayuru Gompa - Oldest Monastery in Leh
This beautiful ancient monastery is the main seat of Drikung Kagyu tradition in the lower part of Ladakh. There are more then 50 monasteries under the leadership of this great monastery in the lower region of Ladakh. About 300 monks are registered under the administration of the monastery.
Lamayuru or Yuru Monastery is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Lamayouro, [Leh district]], India. It is situated on the Srinagar-Leh highway 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) east of the Fotu La at a height of 3,510 metres (11,520 ft).
A. H. Francke states that, according to popular tradition, it was originally the foremost Bon monastery in Ladakh; its name means sauwastika and is a popular symbol in Bon for eternity. Yungdrung is the name of the most popular school of Bon. It is currently affiliated with the Drikung Kagyu school of Buddhism.
The Drikung history states that the Indian scholar Naropa (956-1041 CE) allegedly caused a lake which filled the valley to dry up and founded Lamayuru Monastery. The oldest surviving building at Lamayuru is a temple called Seng-ge-sgang, at the southern end of the Lamayuru rock, which is attributed to the famous builder-monk Rinchen Zangpo (958-1055 CE). Rinchen Zangpo was charged by the king of Ladakh to build 108 gompas, and certainly many gompas in Ladakh, Spiti Valley and the surrounding regions, date from his time.
The oldest gompas, those dating from Rinchen-zang-po's time — Alchi and Lamayuru, and the less accessible Wanla, Mang-gyu and Sumda — belonged at the time of their foundation to none of these Tibetan schools, whose establishment they antedate. They were at some stage taken over by the Ka-dam-pa, and when it fell into decline they were taken over again, this time mostly by the Ge-lugs-pa. The exception was Lamayuru, which was for some reason claimed by the Dri-gung-pa
The gompa consisted originally of five buildings, and some remains of the four corner buildings can still be seen.
Lamayuru is one of the largest and oldest gompas in Ladakh, with a population of around 150 permanent monks resident. It has, in the past, housed up to 400 monks, many of which are now based in gompas in surrounding villages.
Lamayuru is host to two annual masked dance festivals in the second and fifth months of the Tibetan lunar calendar, when all the monks from these surrounding gompas gather together to pray.
