   I love the contrast the bright orange robe of the young monk brings to this photo.

   With bright contrasts, the picture is amazing. Does it always look so ?

   I have heard so much about this place that I can not wait till next year. Next year planning to go there & your posts will come handy.

   I heard that excess tourism has led to this place being very unpleasant to visit these days

   Striking photo that sets a kind of spiritual mood. It must be a special place to visit.

    it’s not true that it’s over crowded. in fact recently it’s been thru a downturn. i was there with my wife 6 months ago, and found most of the time that we were alone in poignant places like the one in the photo above.
