Likir

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.


The latest addition- A 23 meter high glided gold statue of Maitreya
