When the Tibetans from the high plateau of Northeast settled in the Indus Valley around 500-600 BC, they mostly followed the Bon religion. In 7th century Buddhism was brought to this region of Ladakh by the great Lama Songsten Gampo which soon spread across Zanskar and beyond. And due to the isolation of Zanskar the area has remained devoutly Buddhist to this day.
