Bhutan - Buddhism, Gantay Gompa

The monastary, Gantay Gompa, sits high over looking the glacial valley of Phobjika below.
The monastary, now undergoing massive reconstruction, was built in 1613 and is one of the most famous monastaries in Bhutan.
Above you will see the long view and also the dirt road approach to the gompa itself.
If you are as romantic as I am about places that look like this you will, as I surely did, have a sense of a most magical place.
I suppose the magic that was immediately experienced was that we made it up the muddy road, mostly traveled ny foot, in a car. I am sure, though, that there is quite a bit more magic abounding in that place, remote and serene as it is.
There is much of interest about this monastary. We will jump right into some of it tomorrow.
