Phyang (previously known as Fiang) is a village and tehsil in Leh district of Ladakh in India.[1] The Phyang Monastery is in this village. This is one of the largest inhabited villages of Ladakh, comprising eight clusters: Phulungs, Phyang, Tsakma, Changmachan, Gaon, Thangnak, Chusgo and Mankhang. It is in a south-facing valley in the Ladakh Range of mountains. The village is about 15 km (9.3 mi) long and 1.5 km (0.93 mi) average width. There is an old dilapidated castle near the cluster of Phyang on a hilltop. Just below this castle, there is a single-room temple, Lobon, with paintings of Ladakh, but in the tourism industry, it is known as Guru Lhakhang. The Tokpo river is in the middle of the valley. The source of the river is small glaciers in upper Spangkul and Lungnak valley northwest of the village at an altitude of about 5,200 m (17,100 ft). The river joins the Indus River near Phey village at a lower altitude of 3,250 m (10,660 ft). The village has some tourist facilities, including a guesthouse and campsites.
