Lachen Monastery is a quiet spiritual highlight in a rugged, high-altitude setting. Visitors often feel a strong sense of calm here—thin mountain air, snow-season stillness, and a monastery space that seems to match the silence of the surrounding peaks. It’s a meaningful stop for those who like serene places rather than crowded sightseeing.
