Алчи, деревня и монастырь в округе
Лех в Ладакхе, Джамму и Кашмир.
Стоит на берегах Инда в 70 км
от Леха. В отличии от других монастырей,
А. стоит в долине, а не на холме.
Деревня
стала известна благодаря древнему и
знаменитому (национальное наследие)
монастырю Алчи Гомпа, в котором
сохранились росписи XI-XII века, выполненные
не в тибетском, а в индийском стиле.
А. небольшая
деревня, но в ней есть все удобства для
ночлега. С июня по сентябрь она
предоставляет туристам отличную
возможность посмотреть монастырь и
совершить поход в Гималаи, из деревни
на них открывается прекрасный вид.
