I met this little girl in one of my winter visit in Ladakh, I met her in old market near to mosque in Leh town. It was free day for me and was exploring market to see how local people live and what they do during winter, of course they were much more busy with many things than what people do in villages. It was a true sunny day and she was brisking in sun light and playing with local toy. if you really what to see what this title say about, please see high regulation image on this page and watch out in her eyes and let me know what you can see.

Stakna Gompa, A splendid structure on a 60meters high isolated rock and in backdrop stok mountain range, a one of the most accessible monasteries, is another eye-catching monastery located 25 km from Leh. This monastery is a visual display of the religious and cultural heritage of India and Buddhism. The monastery; built by a great scholar and Buddhist follower Chosje Jamyang Palkar in the year 1580, is a treasure of Buddhist scholarly teachings, artifacts and paintings. The Gompa is constructed by Drukpa sect of Tibetan Buddhism. The name Stakna, literally meaning 'tiger's nose' was given because it was built on a hill shaped like a tiger's nose.
