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.

These two girls hiked up from town to pray at the monestery
The Old Palace of Leh’s Royal Family
The kingdom is no more, but the old palace remains.












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.
