Gotsang Gompa is a lesser-known hermitage belonging to the Drukpa lineage, perched atop the hills near the Hemis Monastery in Ladakh, India. Accessible via a steep hike from Hemis, a visit to Gotsang Gompa rewards with serenity and a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains and valleys. The hermitage consists of modest, whitewashed buildings and meditation caves used by monks for solitary retreats. Its secluded location and the simplicity of its structure contrast with the grandeur of its neighbor, Hemis Monastery, which is one of the largest and richest Buddhist monasteries in Ladakh. Visitors to Gotsang Gompa can experience the austere living conditions of monks and learn about their ascetic practices.
