Diskit Monastery

The monastery has a remarkable setting in the remote valley, overlooking the surrounding area.  The buildings on the small hill nearby are the monastery's school.

 

 

 

Coming from the car park this was the first entrance way into the monastery, it has three small stupas over the lintel

There was a lot of steps to climb to reach the centre of the monastery and the main temple rooms.  Belinda was catching her breath we were at over 4000m here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These monks were spending sometime chatting and admiring the amazing view
