| Tikse gompa. The horns are blown by the monks to announce the prayer sessions. Visitors are welcome to sit in on the prayer sessions, and are usually provided with some Ladakhi tea in the way of hospitality. The tea is, incidentally, quite disgusting - imagine a rancid blob of butter dropped in a mug of overstewed tea that has gained the texture of soup. And then imagine having to drink it, so as not to offend your hosts... |
