View on Google MapsBeautiful monasteries built into and on top of mountains with breathtaking views. There are a lot of stairs to climb to actually get into the monasteries from the parking lot. You really need to be able to climb stairs without stopping (not very wide to pull over to rest). We saw quite a few elderly people struggling. That said, I'm 63 and didn't have any problem. Woman must wear skirts, not just have your knees covered. They do provide wraps for you to tie around your waist at no cost.
The place is magical and amazing, but unfortunately our guide was very bad He would bring us running, seeing everything in a hurry without explaining or say things like "this monastery is just like the other" ☹️
It is just as described...and well worth the trip. No regrets...super glad we went! Absolutely recommended.

This was a wonderful experience. There were a lot of steps up to the monastery so this not for the mobility impaired. Our guide was very knowledgeable and told fascinating stories about the monastic life and culture. The views were also spectacular. Well worth the climb of you can do it.
What a beautiful place to visit!! The guide was so informative and filled with knowledge! His brother was a chef at a monastery and knew a lot about everything around us. Tons of pics taken. One of our favorite places to visit!!
Incredible history and beauty of the two monasteries we visited in “The Land of Petrified Giants” (we learned this was the terminology used to describe the area where the monasteries are located hundreds of years ago from our guide).
