Sangchhen Dorji Lhuendrup Nunnery

This beautiful nunnery is positioned atop one of the many valley hills and once up there we were assaulted by a fierce wind.
However the noise of the wind through the tall prayer flags was something special.
This nunnery had recently been closed for 3 months following the death of a ? Father in law of the king.
All around the nunnery were huge wooden platforms in different states of being dismantled where huge public and private rituals have been conducted since his death.
After visiting the nunnery and it’s crystal chandeliers ( sorry no photos can be taken inside) we descended back to the valley floor and visited the suspension bridge behind the fortress.
K was v brave and managed to walk the full distance across and back again.
Back to the hotel at 5pm and now off for dinner- it’s a hard life! To be fair we have done about 6000 stairs today!!!Read more
