This sacred Buddhist monastery, perched atop a hill, exudes serenity and offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The intricate architecture, adorned with golden statues and colorful murals, creates an atmosphere of tranquility and introspection.
As the days pass, I venture further into the hill tracts, discovering hidden gems such as the awe-inspiring Nilgiri Hills. The crisp mountain air will invigorate your senses, and each new vista will leave you in awe of Mother Nature’s boundless beauty.
