Leh Monastery and Old Royal Palace

After a great day of hockey it was up the mountain to the Buddhist Monastery that looks over Leh. We had a stunning day, so I ‘ll let the picture speak (mostly) for themselves.

  1. Is the monastery still active and attended by monks?

      We didn’t see any at the Leh Monastery, but at Thiksey we saw many. We did see people (some quite young) coming to the Leh Monastery to pray.
