Looking down a notched ladder carved from the side of a tree trunk from the roof of the Marme Lakhang temple in Muktinath, Nepal.

Strings of Buddhist prayer flags endlessly repeat the sequence:  yellow for the land, green for the forests, red for the mountains at sunset, white for the clouds, blue for the sky.

More pictures and information about Muktinath can be found at the excellent and rich site of the Mukhtinath Foundation International.
