The Year I Touched My Toes

My Journey to Everest Base Camp

Monastery or Gompa at Khumjung Nepal

Posted on June 28, 2017 by The Year I Touched My Toes

Om Mane Padme Hum

Khumjung Monastery

The colour on the inside of the monastery was a welcome warmth from the cloud that had descended on the town for most of the day. The monastery is the red building you can see on the right (below).

Gompa at Khumjung

This monastery has the famous yeti skull. I don’t think it is right for me to have a photo of it here. You will have to go and see for yourself and pay a donation for the privilege.

Photos taken 25 September 2015. The weather can be cloudy at the end of September. Also posts on the same day

I love the colours! Maybe I need to go for the colours, and to see this mysterious yeti that you won’t share 🙂

What a brilliant contrast of indoor and outdoor pictures. If I had my choice on that day, I would definitely have stayed inside!

Yes if you can postpone your trek for a week more into October it is better.

Wow, what a contrast between the grey outside and the colourful, ornate inside. And there are those intriguing boxes/niches again.

There is so much color, at least inside. Outside, not as much. I guess I’ll have to wait until the weather clears some.
