The famous Tashigang Monastery stands at the confluence of river Sutlej and river Spiti in the Lahaul and Spiti ditrict of Himachal Pradesh. Despite its location in Lahaul and Spiti, the monastery is best accessed from Namgya in Kinnaur district. Namgya can be reached by taking a diversion from Khab at NH22. From Namgya trek to the Tashigang gompa. Namgya is not far off from Nako.

The monastery comprises two gompas- old and the new. The new gompa is extremely beautiful with exquisite wall paintings, small collection of Buddhist books, Buddhist statues and a big Tibetan drum. The old gompa stands few houses below the new gompa and houses a statue of the Shakyamuni Buddha.

Noteworthy is that the new gompa might remain closed when you visit it, however, the old gompa will have greater chances of being open. Here, you can also spot devotees coming in to offer prayers.
