'''Chemrey Monastery''' or '''Chemrey Gompa''' in [[Indus River]] valley is a 1664 [[Buddhism|Buddhist]] monastery in [[Leh district]] of [[Ladakh]] in [[northern India]]. It is {{convert|6|km}} north of [[Hemis Monastery]], {{convert|46|km}} southeast of Leh and {{convert|24|km}} northwest of [[Upshi]]. It belongs to the [[Drukpa Kagyu|Drugpa]] monastic order. It was founded in 1664 by the Lama [[Tagsang Raschen]] and dedicated to King [[Sengge Namgyal]].<br />
