Piyang

The village of Piyang (4180m) lies at the foot of a large ridge honeycombed with thousands of caves and topped with a ruined monastery and two caves with fine murals. It's an fabulously atmospheric place to explore. The ruins of the original monastery and its huge central chörten lie just across the river.
