Shrugged off asthma to travel. On a mission to see ‘the goodness of strangers’. Normally found solo hitchhiking in the Indian Himalaya. Interested in photography, food, culture & people. Also an Economics & Finance major. I have just quit my family business and wish to slow travel across India and then the rest of the world.
Striking landscape beautifully captured for posterity. I remember reading about the Phukta Gutor festival celebrated here, to mark the end of the Tibetan year.
On another note, all these difficult to access monasteries seem like a faraway dream.
And about the ‘almost invisible’ monk – he is standing on the left riverbank, close to the rivulet.
I fall in love with this place. You are such a lucky person on earth. I have marked this place in my bucket list. Is it possible to visit there with you?
[…] tattered state was realised and I decided to take it slow and explore the remote cave monastery of Phuktal. The path was treacherous and a swaying bridge had almost blown me […]
It was an epic journey Sherab. Thanks for checking. I hope to make it to Bhutan again for slow travel experiences and experience the high altitude northern side, as you mention!
