Diskit Vacation Guide
Diskit is sitauted at 3194 metres above sea level, 118 kms from Leh towards Pakistan territory of 'Jammu and Kashmir', behind the Khardung-la pass and situated in the Nubra Valley of the Ladakh region.
The Diskit Gompa of Leh Ladakh dates back to the 14th century and owes its inception to Changzem Tserab Zangpo, a disciple of Tsong-kha-pa. At the heart of Diskit Monastery is an elevated cupola, which stands adorned with a beautiful fresco that illustrates the Tashilhunpo Gompa of Tibet. There are a number of shrines inside the monastery's complex, like Kangyu-lang, Tsangyu-lang, etc. Also, hundreds of Mongolian and Tibetan texts have found their storehouse inside these temples.
Diskit Gompa has quite an interesting legend attached to it. It is believed that a Mongol demon once lived here and was considered to be a sworn enemy of Buddhism. He was annihilated near the monastery. However, even after his death, his body kept coming back to the monastery again and again. It is said that even today the wrinkled head and hand of the demon lie inside a temple of the monastery, which is filled with fierce Gods and Goddesses.
To visit Diskit & Hunder (the Nubra Valley) foreigners need to obtain special (inner line) permit in Leh.

De Gompa van Diskit is een plaatje, helemaal gebouwd op de kale rotswand en een (groene) waterval er langs. Ook hier was een monnik bereid om de het slot van de gebedsruimte af te halen. Hier stonden allemaal beelden van verschillende pluimage. Zo was er onder andere een buddah beeld, Shiva en foto…
