Hemis Monastery is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery (gompa) of the Drukpa Lineage, located in Hemis, Ladakh (within the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir). Situated 45 km from Leh, the monastery was established in 1672 by the Ladakhi king Senge Namgyal. The annual Hemis festival honoring Padmasambhava is held here in early June.
