We really enjoyed reading this article on the monasteries of Ladakh.

We love trekking in the Himalayas because it brings us in touch with the natural beauty of the world’s greatest mountains, and also with the culture and lifestyle of the people there. And as this writer puts it very well, monasteries “are they custodians of wisdom, culture, artifacts and the Buddhist way of life (as well as) melting pots of art, spirituality and education.”

We can’t wait to start offering treks in Ladakh in 2013, so we can start visiting these monasteries ourselves.
