MY mother and cousins planed to visit HALASHI for two days stay. AS there was TES-WANG (which in normal sense means being blessed for a long life ) at TRULSHIK rinpoche 's monastery there . I didn't really wanted to go BECAUSE i always get home sick .But this trip turned out to be the most awesome and adventitious than i ever thought .I was crossing through the rivers , being blinded by fog of dust , Climbing up the hills ,standing at the edge , feeling the wind , taking a long breath and looking down feeling proud of myself and getting more confident to achieve the hill top.Those feeling still pops in my head like a popcorn all the time . Now i can proudly say been there, done that .
The most amazing thing about the Halashi was its caves .At first i didn't really knew what it was ,because i was so stunned by its beauty.but we went there for the last time at night with a nun guiding us . That was the awakening moment . The nun detailed the caves and explained in such a way that it felt as if she was telling us ghost stories .WELL!! i took too many photos . Hope i am able to show the beauty of the Halashi through this photos.
