The view of Chemde monastery, Ladakh, Leh, North India
In the Indian Himalaya’s remote Ladakh region, there are many picturesque monasteries. Monasteries such as Thikse and Hemis. But the Chemde monastery is simply stunning. Overlooking a green valley that nourishes the town of Sakti, the monastery is home to Buddhist monks that live, study and practice their religion. Home to a rich museum that houses dresses and artifacts of Buddhist and Muslim rulers and gorgeous thangkas (paintings)
