Thikse Gompa or Thikse Monastery is a gompa affiliated with the Gelug sect of Tibetan Buddhism. It is located on top of a hill in Thiksey approximately 19 kilometres east of Leh in Ladakh India. It is noted for its resemblance to the Potala Palace in Lhasa Tibet and is the largest gompa in central Ladakh notably containing a separate set of buildings for female renunciates that has been the source of significant recent building and reorganisation.
