My Indian Stalker

We rented a motorcycle in Ladakh and rode toward Lamayuru Monastery, the region’s oldest Buddhist monastery, traveling along the Indus River at high altitude. Along the way, we picked up Hemraj, a hitchhiker from Nepal who kept riding with us despite repeatedly saying he would get off. After eventually finding a truck to take him, we continued to Lamayuru and explored its thousand-year-old monastery and prayer room.
