In which State is the Buddhist site Tabo Monastery located?

Tabo Monastery (Tabo Chos Khor) is located in Tabo village in the Spiti Valley of Himachal Pradesh. Authoritative cultural documentation and regional heritage sources explicitly describe Tabo as an iconic Buddhist monastic complex in Spiti, assigning it to Himachal Pradesh and highlighting its central role in the trans-Himalayan Buddhist tradition [1]. Secondary encyclopedic and travel references concur, listing the monastery’s coordinates and administrative placement within Himachal Pradesh and describing its historical significance as one of the oldest continuously functioning monasteries in the region [2]. Together these sources consistently identify Himachal Pradesh as the State where Tabo Monastery is situated, making option (2) the correct choice.
