With big skies and surrounded by snow capped mountains, Tso Moriri is very photogenic - and dusty! Celebrations of the life of the Korzok Rinpoche continue all day.
In the late afternoon we walk along to the village of Changspa on the edge of Leh, Ladakh, to walk around the beautiful Gomang stupa hidden away in the old village.
The flight from Delhi to Leh is a wonderful one hour flight over the snowy peaks of the Himalaya. Sitting on the left the views are bester and you may see K2, sitting on the right makes for a more exciting landing.
Just arrived back in India, today’s a stopover in Delhi before we fly to the high altitude desert of Buddhist Ladakh. We visit the ruins of the third Delhi at Feroz Shah Kotla and the 2000 year old Ashoka column.
Worn and faded prayer flags, tall lhatos of willows and juniper tied with white scarves, piles of bleached blue sheep and yak horns, some carved with On Mani Padme Hum.
