Not to miss about Diskit Gompa (Diskit Monastery) = Oldest and largest monastery in the Nubra valley, with its own history coinciding with the history of the early settlements here. Situated on a small hillock above the flood area of Shyok River overviewing the vast Nubra valley and facing the Diskit town. This monastery was built in the 14th century under royal patronage inside the palace premises and later on, the entire palace was converted to a monastery. The premises are ancient and the paintings are old which are being restored remarkably well by a group of conservationists from Austria. The monastery practices Vajrayana form of Buddhism and nowadays it is maintained by Thiksey monastery and so is known as sub-gompa of Thiksey. There is a Buddha statue in the main prayer hall surrounded by Thangka paintings and photography is allowed here. The uniqueness of this place is that there is an exclusive temple for gods including some which are derived from Hinduism like Kali, Kuber, etc. These statues are believed to be so powerful that their faces have been kept covered and are not shown to anyone except the learned in the Vajrayana way. Another attraction of this place is the large statue of Maitreya Buddha which was formally inaugurated in 2010 by H.H. Dalai Lama. The basic objective of installation of this statue is to maintain harmony and peace and as the gaze is towards the Pakistan border, it aims at a peaceful coexistence too.
