Tobo tourism
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 (alternative spelling: Kaja), 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. The temples within the monastery complex in Tabo have a plethora of wall paintings and mud statues. The Archaeological
Survey of India (ASI) attempted to restore some paintings that were ravaged by time, but were not very successful. Photography, however, is not
permitted inside the monastery. There are a few hotels in Tabo, of which the Banjara Camps retreat is the most luxurious. The temperatures here
plummet at night. There are other hotels and hostels like Tashi Gangsar, Menthok Dumra at Tabo, including the monastery's own guest houses.
