Trip West Tibet - Monastary

We visited some monastary as a start of the trip. There are a lot of these prayer wheels around the monastary and the tibetans are very pious in their prayers. They will walk rounds and rounds turning the wheels in the clockwise direction. They will wake up early in the morning and start their prayers and turning the wheels for the whole morning. Really a sight to see when there are these whole load of people turning the wheels and some of them will kneel and lay their body down on the floor as a form of prayer.




The monastaries that we visited have all these beautiful carvings and golden bells that are built on top of them. Against the blue sky and the golden sun, the gold inlaids and the carvings glistered and shine. A sight to behold. The whole place exudes an air of holy mystic.
