Tabo Monastery is the oldest earthen Buddhist monastery in the Spiti valley, central Himalayan region. Established in the 10th-century by the Purang Guge Kingdom, it has nine temples, stupas, and cave shrines on a mountain slope in Himachal Pradesh. The Tabo monastery has notable murals. Monuments have been added over time. The Kalachakra Temple, an assembly hall built in 1983, hosted the first Kalachakra initiation by the 14th Dalai Lama at Tabo. A Kalachakra stupa was inaugurated at Tabo in 2009.

The Tabo monastery was built from pressed clay and bricks near the Spiti river between arid mountains. The valley has nine historic Tabo monastery structures – Duwang gompha, Gon-khang, Dom-lang, Chamba Chibo (with large Buddha image), Zelama (with image of Zelama), Lang Chedbo (main large hall), Ser-lang (golden colored) gompha, Chil-khang and Lankar Chung. In addition to these structures, the Tabo monastery has numerous Tibetan-style stupas. Of these, the oldest structures are Du-wang, Gon-khang and Zelama.

Tabo monastery was on the trade and pilgrim routes to Tibet, connecting Tibet to northern Indian centers of Buddhism. It helped the sharing of ideas between Indian and Tibetan Buddhism, as well as the construction of Buddhist temples in Tibet. The Tabo temple complex is a treasure trove of unique Buddhist art, housing a remarkable collection of paintings and statues that not only depict the history of Tibetan-Indian Buddhism but also incorporate elements from Himalayan Hindu traditions. The Tabo monastery played an important historical role in translating Sanskrit manuscripts into Tibetan language from 11th to 16th century, and then moving them into Tibet to help preserve important texts.
