- Snake like narrow roads…
…lead to monasteries…
…perched high atop the hills…
…clinging to the steep bluffs.
1st Monastery Monks…almost hidden in a courtyard corner…
…in total concentration…
…harmonizing their flute duet…
…for the festival
2nd Monastery Monks…almost three dozen…
…fill the central courtyard…
…rehearsing their meditative dance moves…
…for their upcoming festival
- Brightly colored…
…blue-eyed Buddha’s take center stage…
…surrounded by vivid fresco paintings…
…amid freshly white washed walls.
- Thick puffs of smoke rise…
…a strong smell of burning incense…
…wafts through the air…
…so strong at times…
…it makes it difficult to breathe.
FUN-fact: We came upon a group of village women returning from a funeral that were as happy to see us as we were of them!
