This faith of the Buddhists puts this temple at a very important status thereby placing it in the Sumda-Mangyu-Alchi pilgrimage track that the pilgrims try to do in a single day.

The artwork of the temple is exquisite, and the shrine in the assembly hall houses the Vajradhatumahamandala, made of clay sculptures, which can be considered one of the finest in the Western Himalayas [4].

Sumda Chun Monastery is around 65 km to the southwest of Leh, which is connected by a motorable road, up to Sumdo.

The restoration of the historically significant but severely dilapidated structure was carried out in a systematic and sensitive manner guided by meticulous research.

The exemplary project was realized through the steadfast commitment of the local community and the monastic order, in cooperation with cultural foundations and international partners.
