Head Lama at Bardan Monastery | Zanskar | Photos of Ladakh

A photo of the head lama at Bardan Monastery in Zanskar with our guide Stanzin.

This photo of the head lama at Bardan Monastery in Zanskar was taken during a visit with our guide before we started a trek north through Zanskar from Zangla to Kanji.
The photo is taken in the lama's room. Stanzin, our guide, is reading some of the lama's letters. It was an especially delightful visit because Stanzin and the lama came from the same village; they'd known each other all their lives and they had an opportunity to catch up on news and each other's welfare.
