Shergol Gompa - impressive monastery in Ladakh

Impressively located Shergol Gompa is partially set in the mountain cave, closed by this awe-inspiring facade. The hill here is built of quite loosely-cemented conglomerate, which is prone to carving so a part of this Buddhist monastery is in a cave. The place is easily accessible, as it is situated near to the Srinagar – Leh road. Union Territory of Ladakh, India.
