Bardan Gompa.

Bardan (also spelled Bardon it seems) Gompa is one of the first fairy-tale places we came across after starting trekking from Padum, on the very first day. We took the dusty jeep track from Padum to Raru village. The sun was intense, giving us a taste of the extreme Zanskar weather. And halfway through the day, away in the distance, stands Bardan Gompa, atop a cliff that leans against Tsarap Chu.
