Skiu-Kaya
Skiu (also Sku) and Kaya (elev. 3500 m) are adjacent villages in the Markha River valley in Ladakh, India. The villages contain 9 and 12 households, respectively; the boundary between the villages is not clearly defined.
Wheat and vegetables are cultivated by villagers, who also harvest wild seabuckthorn berries.
Skiu and Kaya each have a Buddhist monastery ( gompa). The monastery at Skiu was constructed in the 11th century; Rinchen Zangpo laid its foundation.
