Both my wife and myself visited this monastery. This monastery is attractive and situated at the top of the hill. People have to walk a lot upwards to reach there. People in monastery offer 'prasad' (apple, almond, etc. even biscuit) to tourist. The famous Sangla Buddhist Monastery is located near Reckong Peo in Brelengi Thus, and is also known as Brelengi Gompa, in Sangla. The monastery was founded in 1992 by the Mahabodhi Society to assist the Dalai Lama to perform the Kalachakra ceremony. It is one of the best and most popular places nearby Sangla, where large number of tourists visit everyday. The monastery displays modern Buddhist edifice and near to the monastery is a 10 meter high statue of standing Buddha, which looks majestic. The Sangla valley has a strong influence of Buddhism and so, the monasteries here attract a lot of tourists who come here to enjoy the astounding beauty of the place as well as to see the monastery. The wooden walls and the roof of this amazing monastery are intricately designed to give a great experience to the visitors who adore the Tibetan culture selflessly. Reaching the Buddhist Monastery is easy as there are regular buses that connect Sangla to major cities like Shimla and Delhi.

A small monastery in Kalpa ,more a gumpha(temple) but a beautiful place, very serene ambience. The carvings on the doors of the temple is exquisite. Located within the town, it is not very difficult to reach. The temple closes after the morning prayers to outsiders so one can move around the premises and enjoy the beautiful view of the KInnar-Kailash ranges from the balconies but will not be able to see the interiors.

Though we were totally unaware of the co-incidence, we reached Sangla on the day that symbolises "Karthik Paurnami". As we snacked on the amazing hot jalebis at one of the local shops in the evening, the owner told us that there was a Pooja going on at the temple and it would be a perfect opportunity for us to see the culture of Kinnaur. The Himalayan mountains house an interest plant, "Brahmakamal". It is a white flower, that blossoms only once every year, just for one hour. The Kinnauris believe, that on that day, their God descend on the land. The villagers climb up the mountain to get the Brahmakamal from the mountain. Amidst the clanging of cymbals and beating of the drums, they adorn their idol with the flower. We were very lucky, to witness this elaborate ritual from start to end on that day. I asked one of the villagers, when do they celebrate this festival, to which they replied, that God tells them when they should perform the ritual.
