Drak Yurpa Monastery and Views of Mountains after Snow

We managed to interview over half the Amchi's, enter all the data into the computer and so took Friday morning off to visit the Drak Yurpa monastery. Its been raining at night which means while we get rain in the valley, the tops of the mountains get snow, making the views more spectacular. Sadly, at the Drak Yurpa monastery there were many ruins but it's slowly being rebuilt. The buildings are built into the mountain and there are tons of caves. This monastery is one of the holiest cave retreats in Tibet. Reini and Chris hung a prayerflag for their bean.
So our work and travels here are ending. Hope you had fun looking at the photos and learning a little about Tibet and our adventures.
