Day 5 from Pangong Lake back to Leh
Since the color of the lake changes during the day. We stay and take pictures longer than we fist planned, just so that all would be able to see the “blue” lake.
Hotel Lumbini where we stayed last night.
Green valley on the way back to town
Stop by at Hemis Gompa, just half an hour before it closes.
Hemis Gompa was built in the 17th century by Chapgon Gyalshas and eversince has enjoyed the patronage of the royal family. It is the biggest monastery in Ladakh. Hemis is the the headquarter of the Drukpa order and all the monasteries throughout Ladakh are administered by it. It also trains Lamas for the royal monasteries at leh, Shey and Bazgo. The Monastery contains gold statues and stupas decorated with precious stones and many priceless old Thankas.
