Jessie on a Journey
The image depicts a vibrant and colorful scene from a Buddhist monastery or temple in the Himalayan region, likely in Bhutan. Prominently featured are two large cylindrical prayer wheels, richly adorned with intricate patterns and symbols in shades of red, gold, and blue. The prayer wheels are enclosed within wooden structures with ornate roofs and decorations, reflecting the traditional Bhutanese architectural style. Surrounding the prayer wheels are a multitude of colorful prayer flags, fluttering in the breeze and adding a sense of movement to the scene. The flags are arranged in an arc, forming a vibrant canopy above the prayer wheels. The image is further enhanced by a warm, hazy glow that envelops the scene, creating a dreamlike and ethereal atmosphere.

Scenic View of Buddhist Prayer Wheels in Bhutan

On a 2-hour #hike to the Tiger's Nest Monastery in #Bhutan, the uphill climb is immediate, trees enveloping us in a shady covering. Despite the chill, I’m quickly pulling off layers, the exertion of climbing jagged stone steps and inclined dirt slopes making me sweat. I’m glad I’ve brought 1 liter of water plus a 500 milliliter bottle, as I regularly sip to stay hydrated. That being said, about halfway through the hike (one hour up) we come to a beautiful lookout, #prayerwheels and colorful payer flags cresting a frame around an opening of trees with the Tiger’s Nest just above and beyond. It’s #spectacular.
