I left the blog 1 year back at my last post of Kaza and as I left the mountains and joined my city life it consumed me again with all its lust and commodity love. I always wanted to finish this blog though as this trip is-was and will be very close to my heart..After 1 year here I am, trying to recollect the journey and aiming to finish the blog...
14 kms from Kaza was Langza which brought us to a tall Buddha statue made around 2005 which is placed in front of 500 years old temple..the temple has Ibex horns whch I guess is worshiped over there. We halted there, got ourselves photographed , prayed and moved ahead...
we headed off with our satisfied and rejuvenated souls for lunch at Norling guest house..Maggi was awesome the tea was energetic..We headed off to Key monastery which was closed by the time we reached but it was not dis heartening because of the prior experience we had on that day...

The view from the temple is as breath taking as the temple and the saute itself...
Our journey continued for the day and we finally arrived at Komic,the highest village in the world with a road having a population of 114 people.. We visited the Komic Tangyud monastery and offered our prayers in the monastery. Serene is the word to describe the experience in Komic.
the beauty surrounding is mind blowing...you feel that the nature has taken you int confidence and you are a part of it now..the next photo is taken on mobile, the sheer vibrancy of the photo is an evidence of the natural beauty of the place, I know i am using the word beauty a lot of time but that's how my experience has been...Beautiful...
we moved ahead to another monastery some where between Key and Kibber. I am unable to find the name of the monastery even after rigorous Google search..
We reached the monastery with the thought of offering a prayer but found the gate closed, disappointed as we started heading back a monk spotted us, called us back, opened the doors to us,welcomed us, showed the inside of the monastery, offered a prayer for us..all done in an unique friendly manner that you can expect only in the mountains..It was one of the best prayer of our life. We were elated with the experience and it refreshed our souls...
I still thank the monk/lama from the bottom of my heart for such an experience...
We headed on our way back...the weather started becoming bad and it was raining, we decided to take shelter for the night.We started looking for hotels and all were full, finally we managed to get just one room for ourselves and we all 5 of us settled in for the night.The warm dinner gave way to a deep sleep..We will be heading back for Manali the next morning...
