Ladakh's Largest and Wealthiest Gompa Hemis is the largest and wealthiest monastery in Ladakh, hidden in a side valley about 45 km south of Leh above the Indus. Though a religious site existed earlier, the present gompa was re-established in 1672 under the Ladakhi king Sengge Namgyal, and it is the principal seat of the Drukpa Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism.

For the Hemis Monastery specifically, hours: daily, roughly 8am to 6pm. We sequence the visit for the prime hour and avoid the worst conditions November brings to Leh.
Around the monument visit, the November Leh circuit is built to the season, pacing, stays, dining, and contingency tuned to the conditions rather than fought against.
