A Few More Pics from Taktsang (While I'm Writing the Next Post)

These two are of Chris and his early morning snow lion friend hanging out at the Gantey Palace Hotel before we left for the hike. The second picture is the outside of the Gantey Hotel Palace.

This is Taktsang from below on the way up.

More views through Himalayan rainforest foliage.

 The pony stand about halfway up the trail at the entrance to the Taktsang "cafeteria" side trail. From here, everyone has to walk the second half of the trail up to Taktsang--no easy chore!

This (above) is the descending stairway to the bridge across the waterfall that then leads up to Taktsang.

This (above) is the small chapel built out around the cave where Yeshe Tsogyal stayed in retreat practicing Vajrakilaya.

Statue of Yeshe Tshogyal at her cave.

Okay, that's all for the moment! I am writing the next post...
