Muya Temple is a large temple complex set against the backdrop of the mountains.

About Muya Temple (Muya Dasi /

The large temple complex was built to honor the tenth Panchan Lama and serves as one of the go-to temples for people of Tibetan origin across the region - making it an important cultural point for the people.

The central building features the main temple building and is covered in hand-drawn designs.

The grounds themselves, too, are a fascinating sight - with deer and sheep running around while monks play basketball.

Continue on the path for a couple of hundred metres and you'll end up at the women's monastery - a village built onto the side of the mountain with it's own monastery.

Please take note though that photography in this specific women's area is not allowed.
