The Beautiful and Amazing Hemis Monastery is hidden within the folds of the Himalayas , 40 kms from Leh in Ladakh, India.
Am sharing snippets of the Awesome Hemis Monastery and the surroundings through pictures in a series of blogs.
You can check out http://www.drukpa-hemis.org for details on this Monastery and thus shall not repeat the same.
The featured Image and the picture below are the first glimpses of the Hemis Monastery ( building in yellow) which is discretely located and practically invisible till you are literally at it’s doorstep.
This picture was taken from the main courtyard of the Monastery where the Winter Hemis Festival is held annually in February.
It is only now I realize the colour yellow is from the silken banners.
Beautifully integrated into the landscape, the construction can be a lesson for modern architects.
The Hemis Monstery is located at a Height of 13000 feet and does leave you gasping for breath in awe.
Travel with Mukul 
Beautiful photographs, dear Mukul, as you mentioned it is amazing building architecturally. I love the colours and all these Tibetan paintings… The monastery should be visited. I tried to enter the website but not in English, but I am searching on Google. Thank you so much, Love, nia

For me yes. You can try it as there is no chemical Input. A spice used frequently in Indian cooking ( am sure in Turkish cuisine too) and warm water.
