Through the maze of mud-rock houses and twisted steel at every level, Buddhist shrines punctuated the makeshift alleyways, as elderly robe-clad locals shuffled about their business. With thousands of prayer flags affixed to every available structure in town and the gentle breeze causing them to sway and flap, we felt a wonderful sense of Himalayan isolation intwined in the very epicenter of Buddhist culture.
