Gya is a village overlooking river of same name in Indian Ladakh between the Indus river valley and Tanglang La Pass on the Leh-Manali Highway. Reachable from Upshi in the Indus River Valley, the village nestles in the gorge created by the River Gya. A Buddhist Gompa with accompanying chortens or stupas (shown below) overlooks the village and gorge.
