Visit to traditional Ladaki home

On the way to a monastery, we stopped by Lama Lhundup's aunt's house. She lives there with her daughter-in-law and grandchildren. Her own mother was also there, so we saw four generations of Ladakhians.

 This is on the top floor of the house, with the grandmother. They asked me to put on a traditional coat.

 We had tea and yogurt in the most beautiful kitchen on the lower floor.
