Thang Yug Gompa is a 14th-century monastery in Kaza. It belongs to Buddhism’s Sa Kya Pa sect. A group of eminent scholars and monks who revised the sacred Tangyur texts formed the Sa Kya Pa order. The Tangyur are Buddhist scriptures comprising 87 volumes and are integral to Buddhism. This monastery has become a popular destination for Tibetan scholars worldwide and in India. The Thang Yug Monastery was first built at Hikkim village. After it was severely damaged due to an earthquake in 1975, the villagers shifted it to its present location near Comic town.
