The view of Stok Monastery overlooking the city of Leh in Ladakh, India, as observed from the Shanti Stupa during sunset is a mesmerizing experience. The Stok Monastery, a sacred home of Buddha and His disciples, like many other monasteries are situated just atop heavenly valleys - close by, yet not so close to human settlements; as if, one has to elevate oneself to reach the ever observing divine.
