which was attached to Shey - the seat of Ladakh's heartland - is
attested by the enormous number of Chorten about the village, particularly
around the palace complex and barren plain to the north of the road.
Thiksey - is one of the largest and most impressive Gompas. There

exquisite wall paintings. It also houses a two - storied statue
of Buddha which has the main prayer hall around its shoulder. proceed
to Hemis - which is dedicated to Padmasambhava, what a visitor can
observes a series of scenes in which the lamas, robed in gowns of
rich, brightly coloured brocade and sporting masks sometimes bizarrely
hideous, parade in solemn dance and mime around the huge flag pole
in the center of the courtyard to the plaintive melody of the Shawn.
The moan of the eleven feet horns, the boom of drums and the clash
of Cymbals. Hemis was found in the 1630's by Tsang-ras-pa under
