Dhankar Monastery, also referred to as Dhankar Gompa, is a #Buddhist temple situated in the district of #Lahual & #Spiti in #Himalyan region of Northern #India. It is situated in #Himachal Pradesh state. The Monatsery is located at a height of almost 3894 m from sea level in the Spiti #Valley and is surrounded by town #Tabo and #Kaza. The Monastery is placed at a height of 1000 ft above the confluence of Pin & Spiti rivers. The #Monastery had been declared as one of the ‘100 Most Endangered Sites in the World’ by World Monument Fund in the year 2006 and a team of non-profit groups are working to organize its #preservation. This is one of the most famous Fort Monasteries that has been built in accordance with Central #Tibetan Pattern. Total of 150 Lamas reside in this Monastery. This fort Monastery is quite similar to the Tangyud Monastery & the Key Monastery in Spiti which have been built with the typical Central Tibetan outline. The structure of Monastery is built overlooking the convergence of the Spin River & Pin River on a 300 m towering spur. Below is a small village, Shichilling. This is the #village where new #Dhankar Monastery has been constructed. The old monastery is at an approximate distance of 24 kms from Kaza, the town from where one can enter Dhankar. This entire structure is considered one of world’s most magnificent settings for a #Gompa. (at Dhankar Gompa)
