Monks Monks Everywhere: In the Middle of the Main Market, Leh, india

This picture of monks in Leh was taken on our last day at the place. My husband had to buy something from the local market called Moti Market. I was too tried. I just sat on the steps opposite this monastery with other Tibetan people. This was quite close to the main market in Leh. I was reading a book sitting outside in the wide courtyard and inside a prayer meeting was going on. The place was vibrating with chants. There were quite a few people sitting outside like me. I felt peaceful, something I can rarely claim to be!

I must have still not recovered well from the stomach trouble that I developed on the trek, otherwise I rarely opt to sit down. I have always been a big fan of walking, to me a trip is not complete till I have walked around to my heart’s content.
