Guess this is my first photo slideshow I made back in 2008 after a trip to the Hemis Monastery of the Drukpa Lineage, about 45 km (28 miles) south of Leh in Ladakh, India on July 12, 2008. The annual Hemis Tsechu festival is held to honor Padmasambhava or better known as Guru Rinpoche.
Sorry for the poor narration, that's me in 2008 ^^
