| Day 7: Gompa Dal Bardor, Kapore and I visited the Gompa (Buddhist monestry) near Thangnak for prayers. Legend has it that the statues in the Gompa were carried from Tibet, and when they reached here, the statues suddenly became very heavy that they couldn't moved them anymore, and so they built the Gompa here. It started snowing when we left the Gompa and gotten heavier when we reached Thangnak. |
