HIGHLIGHTS

Appropriate clothing for everyone is required to enter the monasteries. Sleeveless clothing and shorts over the knee for men are prohibited and you‘ll be denied access if dressed that way. For ladies skirts and shawls are available at the entrance in case they don’t have such clothing to cover themselves.
Around the monasteries, there are only canteens that serve few quick snacks and beverages, so it is always a good idea to take some snacks and a bottle of water with you. Don’t forget the appropriate clothing and your camera!
