Landmarks · Asia › India › Ladakh › Nubra Valley › Diskit Monastery
The big monastery of the valley, stacked up its cliff with the whole of Nubra and the braided Shyok below it. The view from the road is the photograph; go up for the chapels and the giant Maitreya Buddha on the ridge opposite if you have the legs for the steps.
