| Video Discription | Hanle is one of the most beautiful, enchanting, calm and soul losing places in India. I will put Hanle as one of the best paces to viist in Ladakh. To me it came as a surprise as I didnt expect it to be such an untouched village, so raw , so peaceful!I felt we travelled back time !On the way to Hanle from Leh, it seems like you're on a different planet altogether. Its horrifying beauty — extreme calmness — imparts the feeling of being lost in an alien land. There is some wildlife to spot along the way: mostly wild asses, golden ducks, rabbits, jackals. You can also see a few nomads along the roadside, in their makeshift tents and surrounded by their cattle and dogs. We visited the 2 most important sites in Hanle: 1. Hanle Monastery: Built in the 17th century, the monastery belongs to the Red Hat sect of Tibetan Buddhists. The monastery is also known as Analy Gompa apart from Hanle Monastery. It seems it is home to 10 monks and is visited by more than 40 others to offer prayers here.It offer some great aerial view of the whole village that is a home of about 1000 people.The views from the top of the monastery are just breath-taking. The monastery is approximately less than 20 km from the LAC or the Line of Actual Control between India and Tibet. The monastery is one of the largest and well known monasteries in Ladakh; it was built with the patronage of a Ladakhi king called Sengge Namgyal alongside a well known Tibetan lama named Taktsang Repa Ngakwang Gyatso. The monastery is built in Tibetan architectural style, but one can find the influence of Indian and Chinese style of architecture in the structure. As the monastery lies in close proximity to the Tibetan border, the entire region falls under the highly sensitive area. 2. Hanle Observatory: Hanle also houses an Indian Astronomical Observatory which is the world’s highest observatory in the world at a staggering height of 4500 Mtrs. The Indian Astronomical Observatory or IAO is one of the world's highest observatories thanks to its high altitude of 14800 ft above sea level. The observatory was dedicated to the nation in 2001 by the then Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah.The observatory has two telescopes which are active, one is the 6.5 ft tall Himalayan Chandra Telescope, which was named after the Noble laureate Subrahmanyam Chandrashekar. The second one is High Altitude Gamma Ray Telescope. The observatory is operated by the Indian Institute of Astrophysics in Bengaluru. The observatory has a guest house which provides accommodation facilities to the visitors on prior notification. LqkhGT6YWS4 |
