Exploring Pangan Monastery. (Part-1).

Namaste 🙏

Hope you are doing great!!!

Another day in this beautiful paradise. Because of cold weather, I got a little sick so I couldn’t go for my walk yesterday. I wanted to go, but I had got cold symptoms and had a little fever too. I did complete rest for one day yesterday and because of that only, I’m feeling a lot better today.. today I woke up a little late than usual, but decided to go for a walk and not skip it.

Today I went to a Buddhist monastery that is near to my house, and this place is beyond words. To visit this magical place, all you need to do is take a right turn while you’re going to the Pangan village towards The monastery Road. There is a very clear entry board on the road by which you can identify it.

The Sign Board

The Monestry Road—

As soon as you enter this road, you come across this beautiful, looking tip and prayer flags all around you. The amazing mountain view and the Pine Forest. What else do you need?

The monastery is about half a kilometre from the main road, and this half kilometre stretch is mesmerising. This this narrow road with prayer flags or all sides and when you visit here, you will feel like walking here forever, you will not want this road to end.

The Pine Forest—

The evergreen Pine Forest make it even better. The pine trees are lush green even in winters and this is adding to the contrast of this place as everything around is so dry and lifeless, but this forest in spite of being in the middle of the valley is lush green.

The Tibetan people believe that these prayer flags are a great significance. Strongly believe that tying them around makes the environment really peaceful, and I also believe it now there is a different kind of peacefulness in this region they cannot be expressed by words.

You will have to visit this place by yourself, and then you will come to know what I’m talking about. This place is not at all tourist and I think no one visits here, except the people who are really meant to be the other monasteries around Manali are really crowded, but this one is really meant for the real experience.

The best thing about this place is this is in the middle of the valley and you can see a lot from here. You can see the view of the whole valley the villages around the forest around the snow mountains, lush Green Pine Forest, and you can stare them for hours without getting tired. That’s what I did.

Those flags were tied in really cool fashion, zigzag fashion I must say and they provided display with mysterious vibes. This place just felt like heaven.

The best thing I did there was, I sat on a cliff and meditated for about 20 minutes. I was feeling so peaceful from inside that all my troubles and worries just flew away.

After my deep meditation, I again started with my walk towards the monastery, and I was feeling so peaceful from inside and everything was feeling so tranquil.

There was no one else on this road, except me and my brother and that made this experience even better. The places that I am sharing with you guys recently or some of the remote places around the Kullu Valley and these places are meant to be explored by the people who really understand their value.

I don’t understand why people come to the mountains and go in search of tourist places that are super crowded. According to me, that’s the wastage of time and money. If you’re coming to the mountains, you should always look for the peaceful places and just be with yourself for a while. This is one of those places.

I am being very honest with you guys that the pictures are not at all paying justice to the vibe of this place. The experience that you will have here is beyond words, and you’ll have to feel that yourself.

I’ll be sharing about my journey to the monastery in the next part as this blog is already getting too long.

That’s all for today.

Peace ☮️
