Alchi Monastery - The wonder of India
Alchi (1020AD) - Marvel of Ladakh and Kashmir
Alchi represents the pinnacle of Trans-Himalayan art.
These magnificent wall paintings, dated between 11th – 13th century AD, are from Alchi monastery located 65 kms west of Leh. King Yeshe Od of Guge and famous scholar Rinchen Zangpo have built 108 monasteries in Tibetan region. Out of these 3 temples were believed to be created in one night – Sumda, Mangyu and Alchi.
The Sumtseg, a three storied building is one of the most outstanding artistic creations in Kashmir. It houses 3 colossal statues of Bodhisattvas. The sculpture of Avalokiteshwara stands 4m high and his dhoti is filled with miniature paintings of palaces, temples and royal life. The Alchi murals combine the best of Kashmiri and Tibetian art and provide a rare glimpse of the peaceful coexistence of Buddhism and Shaivaism traditions in Kashmir. It is remarkable that the stone colors used don’t show any sign of fading and glows even after 1000 years.
The tallest sculpture of Maitreya stands 5m tall and his dhoti is depicted with 50 roundels showing various episodes of Buddha Shakyamuni. The important paintings show the birth of Price Siddhartha at Lumbini gardens, the young prince undergoing penance, attaining enlightenment at Bodh Gaya, preaching to 5 companions at Sarnath and images of Akshobhaya Buddha. They are breathtakingly beautiful and real.
The third giant sculpture of orange hue is that of Manjushri. There are 84 mahasiddhas depicted on his dhoti in chequered squares. On the upper storey above the head of Manjushri is the painting of standing Tara with 8 hands. On the right hand wall of Sumtseg, there are 1000 miniature paintings of Manjushri painted in 5 colours. The central icon is the 4-armed golden Manjushri holding a sword and a book decorated with intricate gold work.
This iconic painting of the Lady of Alchi is that of Shyama Tara seated in a sun disc. Note this style of painting where the almond shaped eyes is projected beyond the outline of the face, a style perfected earlier in Ellora and Ajanta.
Alchi represents the pinnacle of trans-Himalayan art where beauty and divinity reaches the exquisite levels of Ajanta and South Indian Temples.
What differentiates Alchi from other imposing hill top monasteries in Ladakh is that it is small and built in the valley with flat roofs. It’s status as a backwater possibly saved it from being destroyed in the many Mughal and Dogra wars.
The cold dry desert of Ladakh has helped preserve the beautiful paintings. However recent rains resulting from climate changes are causing massive destruction to the mud walls & wooden ceilings. Negligence arising out of infighting between monks and ASI is preventing proper restoration work.
Visit Alchi before it is too late and lost forever in the wheels of time.
How to reach - Alchi can be reached from Leh (66Kms) or Srinagar - Kargil (383Kms). Stay near Alchi or Lamayaru and plan a visit to Alchi and Likir Monasteries.

Incredible Alchi Monastery in Leh, Ladakh [Must Visit] [GoPro vlog]
I took a journey to Leh, and having reached there early in April, there was not much happening in Leh - so I decided to take a trip to nearby places.
This is my journey from Leh to Alchi, on the way to Lamayuru.

ALCHI MONASTERY, MAGNETIC HILLS, SANGAM | Day 1, 2 IN LEH LADAKH
Hello !! (COMPLETE ITINERARY BELOW)
We recently went on one of the best trips of our life: Leh-Ladakh and Kashmir. It was a 10 day trip.
Today's video is about day 1 and 2.
We flew to Leh on 31st Aug 2018.
Flew from Leh to Kashmir on 6th Sept 2018.
Flew back to Delhi from Kashmir on 10th Sept 2018.
This is our itinerary. Hope it helps some of you.
Day 1: 31st Aug
We landed in Leh at 8:30 am.
Since Leh Ladakh is at a very high altitude, your body needs to acclimatize to the low level of oxygen. Hence you MUST take the first 2 days slow.
So, after eating and few hours of sleep, we headed to the Leh market in the evening. Explored the area and had dinner at a restaurant int he market only.
Day 2: 1st Sept
Today we hired a taxi and covered the main tourrist attractions in the city: Alchi Monastery, Sangam (Indus-Zanskar Confluence), Pathar Sahib Gurudwara and Magnetic hills.
Do not opt for rafting in the Sangam. Not worth it !!!
We headed back to our hotel in the evening and partied in our hostel.
Day 3: 2nd Sept 2018
Today we left for Nubra in our tempo traveler. If you are a group of 6+ people I would highly suggest you go for the traveler and not a SUV. Traveller is lot more convenient for the long hours of travelling.
On the way we did the ATV bike rides at the Bhaag Milkha Bhaag point.
We spent the night in Hunder, Nubra.
Day 4: 3rd Sept 2018
Today we drove to Pangong via Shyok road.
On the way, we explored the Diskit monastry, did the double hump camel rides and rafting in Nubra.
At night we reached Pangong Lake and spent the night in the tents there.
Day 5: 4th Sept 2018
We started the watching the sun rise on the lake and explored the area up until 11am.
On our way back to Leh from Pangong we covered: The Shey palace and the Rancho School.
We spent the night in a hotel in Leh.
Day 6: 5th Sept 2018
Today we woke up pretty late and started our exploration only at around 2pm. We started off with the Leh Palace and reached there on foot from the main market.
After coming back from the palace to the main market, we took a taxi to the Shanti Stupa nd watched the sun set there.
The same cab dropped us back to the market and after our dinner we headed back to the hotel.
I know you must be thinking her channel name is spelled incorrectly but that was intentionally done. :)
No one's life is perfect and the same applies to me. But then I believe beauty lies in the imperfections and I feel blessed to have understood that.
So, don't fret upon the imperfections in you. They make you different than others. They make you YOU.
Day 7: 6th Sept 2018
Flew to Kashmir. Explored the Mughal Gardens( nishat bagh, shalimar bagh), chashme shahi, Pari Mahal and took a shikara ride in the evening on the Dal Lake.
Spent the night in the hotel in Srinagar.
Day 8: 7th Sept 2018
We hired a taxi to Gulmarg and came back to our hotel in the evening.
