Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Kartpostal, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Thanks. I have added it.

Mr. McManus, this is a most remarkable scene. At the larger size, I could see the orange-clad inhabitants of this complex.
Please continue with your travels and share your images with us.
Your photostream makes me feel like I've been on a vacation to places I'll probably never actually get to.

That is very kind of you Linda. The monastery has a wonderful setting and Bhutan is a great place to travel.

Thanks Roxan. This is a very special place in Bhutan. The shot was not difficult but the climb up was hard work.

The view was worth it though!

Oh my god...what a setting for this monastery...as in Bhutan, in Leh (India) and Tibet these monasteries have some of the most astounding and breathtaking settings. Thanks for posting this beautiful picture.
richard.mcmanus. (46 months ago | reply)
Thanks Piyush. These monasteries do have amazing settings in all the places you mention. I have included in the photostream the Phuktal Gompa in Zansakar and the Potola Palace in Tibet. The monasteries in Leh are also stunning.
