The town lies on the road between Rekong Peo and Kaza (alternative spelling: Kaja), the sub-divisional headquarters of Spiti.

[citation needed] 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.

There are other hotels and hostels like Dekit Norphel Tiger Den Restaurant, Tashi Gangsar, Menthok Dumra at Tabo, including the monastery's own guest houses.

Tabo is connected to other major towns like Kaza and Kalpa with Himachal Pradesh Road Transport Network.
