Originally posted by maw I have seen several documentaries, they are inhabited by monks, and there is no elevator, they lead a life of seclusion. monks to get off used a net, retractable stairs or ropes.
I found a photo very similar to your as a framing.
I’m going to have to watch the documentaries too, so much information given on tours and so little time to absorb it all. I saw the cart being pulled over with people in it. They make it easier for tourists to get into the monestaries now with bridges and foot paths.
I’m not surprised to see a photo with similar framing, buses stop at the scenic overlook and I’m sure every person that visits takes a bunch of photos there. It’s magical and so beautiful.
