Religion is central to daily life in Diskit, with the landscape dotted with stupas, prayer flags, and mani walls (stones inscribed with mantras).
* **Tibetan Buddhism:** The vast majority of the population follows Tibetan Buddhism. Diskit Gompa belongs to the Gelugpa (Yellow Hat) sect of Tibetan Buddhism. * **Islam:** There is a minority Muslim population in the broader Nubra Valley—particularly in the villages closer to the Line of Control, such as Turtuk—and a small mosque exists in the Diskit area to serve local residents and merchants.
