Dhankar gompa has a spectacular cliff top setting.

The monks play a goat version of pin the tail on the donkey.

The resident monks get smaller and smaller.

Paying my way as head porter.

Nubra valley, north of Leh. As far north in India as tourists are allowed.

The village of Hunder.

View from temple above Hunder. Tourists aren’t allowed to cross the bridge, its too close to Pakistan.
