We have visited a few Monasteries since arriving in Ladakh. Although we find the them charming with their winding stairways and endless narrow alleys and friendly monks, we always feel a little out of place as we know very little about Buddhism and this way of life. As well, as Jon noted everything is built very small… watch the head. We tread lightly. The monks are always friendly and we have been invited for tea occasion.
When we arrived at the Likir Monastery we were awestruck/inspired with the larger than life golden statue of Buddha and had to sit for quite awhile in his presence.
