The Ajanta of the Himalayas Tabo is the oldest continuously operating Buddhist monastery in India and the Himalayas, founded in 996 CE in the Spiti valley of Himachal Pradesh at about 3,050 m. It was established by the great translator Rinchen Zangpo on behalf of the Guge king Yeshe-O, and its unassuming mud-brick temples preserve a priceless thousand-year sequence of wall paintings and stucco images, earning it the name 'the Ajanta of the Himalayas'.

For the Tabo Monastery specifically, hours: daily during daylight; inner temples opened by the monks. We sequence the visit for the prime hour and avoid the worst conditions February brings to Spiti Valley.
