On The Tea Run

            Early morning prayers in the Thiksey gompa monastery near Leh and here we see a young trainee monk making his rounds with the kettle replenishing the cups of Tibetan style tea.

Traditionally, it is made from tea leaves, yak butter, water, and salt, hence I can only manage one cup, but it would be impolite to refuse. 

Russel and I were the only two visitors to the dawn ceremony.
