People go to great lengths to look physically attractive, but inner beauty is a more important and stronger basis for lasting relationships. ✒ HH The Dalai Lama Higgledy Piggledy homes of Dhankar village (3,370 metres) : A little higher in elevation and above the main road, in one of the most dramatic settings of Spiti, is the village, fort (in ruins) and monastery of Dhankar. Earlier Dhankar was the traditional capital of Spiti and the King of Spiti used to rule the kingdom right from here. It is a small pretty village on a hill with an open view of valley down the side. Views are majestic from the top of the monastery and one can see vast expanses of the #Spiti valley. The setting is so #beautiful and dramatic that this #monastery should not be missed. There is a fresh water lake about a 2.5 kms hike above Dhankar #village at a height of 13,500 ft. The village is ideal for #traditional home stays. . 📷 . #ShimlaLife #Buddhism #Travel #Explore #Happiness #Trans #Himalayas #mountainlife #Villagelife #exploringplaces #spitivalley (at Dhankar Gompa)
