Tabo, Himachal Pradesh


Tabo is a small town in the Lahaul and Spiti district on the banks of the Spiti River in Himachal Pradesh, India. The town lies on the road between Rekong Peo and Kaza, the sub-divisional headquarters of Spiti. The town surrounds a Buddhist monastery which, according to legend, is said to be over a thousand years old. His Holiness the Dalai Lama has expressed his desire to retire to Tabo, since he maintains that the Tabo Monastery is one of the holiest. In 1996, HH the Dalai Lama conducted the Kalachakra initiation ceremony in Tabo, which coincided with the millennium anniversary celebrations of the Tabo monastery. The ceremony was attended by thousands of Buddhists from across the world. Tabo Monastery's spiritual head is Tsenshap Serkong Rinpoche.

  1. Snowy mountains are the mountains which are completely covered with snow which look like the mountain taking the shower of milk and the huge cottons. In India there are several people like to visit hills-station like Lahaul Spiti to enjoy moments of winter season wonderfully and awesomely. People like to do activities like ice-skiing,snowman making and snow fighting.
