Located quite close to Basgo, is the Likir Monastery. Like many of the monasteries , this too is located high up in the hills overlooking Indus and the snow clad mountains in the background. The monastery complex- nearly 1000 years, also houses a school for children.
A repository of Paintings, vessels, coins swords etc. are housed withing the complex.
