Kwang Nunnery

Kwang Nunnery stands on the opposite bank of the Spiti River from the Sakya Tangyud Gompa, a short walk across the river from central Kaza. It houses a small community of Buddhist nuns and offers a quieter counterpart to the town's more visited monastery, with far fewer visitors passing through. The setting, beside the ruins of the old Nono's palace, adds historical context to the walk, connecting Kaza's religious and administrative past on a single stretch of riverbank. Online information about the nunnery is limited, so a visit benefits from local guidance.
