Images of Samye Monastery, Tibet
 Samye Monastery, Tibet - Samye was the first monastery built in Tibet. It's history dates back 1200 years. It can only be reached after an hour long river crossing by boat and then a 30 minute minibus ride on a bumpy sandy road. It was worth the trip! |  Samye Monastery, Tibet |  Samye Monastery, Tibet |  Samye Monastery, Tibet |  Samye Monastery, Tibet - From the second level this view is just of the entrance to the Samye main assembly hall. |  Green Chorten, Samye Monastery, Tibet - Adjacent to the Samye assembly hall sits the Green Chorten. |  Samye Monastery, Tibet - The three tall poles were adorned with the ever present prayer flags. |  Inside Samye Monastery, Tibet |  Samye Monastery Pilgrim, Tibet - This old guy was resting on the steps to the Green Chorten. |  Samye Monastery, Tibet |  Inside Samye Monastery, Tibet |  Inside Samye Monastery, Tibet |  Inside Samye Monastery, Tibet |  Inside Samye Monastery, Tibet |  Inside Samye Monastery, Tibet |  Inside Samye Monastery, Tibet |  Samye Monastery, Tibet - Inner Courtyard of Assembly Hall Complex |  Monk Quarters, Samye Monastery, Tibet - These colorful entrances to the monk quarters were on the second level. |  Samye Monastery, Tibet |  Samye Monastery, Tibet |  Samye Monastery, Tibet |  Samye Monastery, Tibet |  Samye Monastery, Tibet |  Near Samye Monastery, Tibet |  Old Couple Near Samye Monastery, Tibet - This was a 'grab shot' taken from our bouncing minibus.
