Next to Thiksey Monastery. Chilling out View of the Indus Valley from Shey Palace. Searching for carrots. The donkey place was full of funny signs too. The newborn ... so tiny he couldn't chew carrots yet...had to find his mom in the crowd when hungry. The view on my walk to the donkey sanctuary. Just one of the funny road signs put up by the army.
More views from the Shey Palace... tons of stupas everywhere. More views from Shey Palace... Thiksey Monastery is on a distant cliff in the very center. Notice the line of vegetation... there was nothing green to the left of me. Trees only by the river. Thiksey Monastery. Thiksey Monastery. View from the top of Thiksey Monastery. I guess the gods like Mountain Dew... one of the many offerings at Thiksey Monastery. View of Leh from Shanti stupa. The palace and another temple can be seen on the cliffs on the left.
Shanti stupa in Leh at sunset. The garden outside my room at Julay Guesthouse. My 200 rupee room (4 dollars) for recuperating in Leh. :) The little box that took me across the river. The crazy geology of the valley kept changing at every turn. My horse caravan heading towards Chiling. There are stupas everywhere... sometimes a lot of them... in the middle of nowhere. The monastery at Skyue.
On the way to the 5000m pass. Views from part way up the pass. The elaborate kitchen/stove of our first homestay. Views of our first homestay. Only 3 people lived in this really big house... and they survive there all winter too. Trying to spot the snow leopard. There's actually a donkey sanctuary in Leh... it was closed when I went but apparently it's legit! View from the temple on the cliff behind Leh (you can also see the brown Leh palace below me).
View through the prayer flags at the temples above Leh. The various temples above Leh. The Leh Palace. Some of the masked dancing I saw as part of the Ladakh festival. More of the masked dancing at the Ladakh festival. Ladakh festivities. Tibetan woman praying. View from the Shanti stupa.
The temples on the cliffs behind Leh - the view from my first guesthouse. The view from the room of my first guesthouse in Leh. People working the fields below Shanti stupa on the right. This was about 2 minutes from my place. Downtown Leh. :) The cliff temples in the background... Amazing views from the plane... Massive glacier. A dangerous poacher takes aim The musicians
