Painting a stupa, as we rode by
The view from the top of the monastery of the surrounding fields
Thikse gompa (monastery). Sadly overun with tourists since it is only 17 km from Leh (all downhill, should you choose to bike.. but give you bike to a restaurant to look after while you hike up the hill). This means that if you go to the early morning prayer session (puja) there may be more white people than monks, many of whom have horrible camera etiquette. Cameras are NOT allowed inside temples in Bhutan, so I did take the opportunity to grab a shot of this two story Buddha (this is the top story)
