The main reason to be here is right next door. The Samten Yangchag Monastery, a 400-year-old seat of Buddhist learning, sits at the top of the hill. You can walk its grounds, take in the intricate architecture, and feel the history of the place. The monks are often welcoming to respectful visitors. The views from the monastery grounds are panoramic, looking out over the entire valley and the river that winds through it. It is the heart of Mechuka.
The best months to travel here are from March to October. During this time, the weather is pleasant, the roads are generally clear, and the valleys are accessible. The landscape is green and alive. From December to February, heavy snow can fall in the higher reaches, which may lead to road closures and cold temperatures.
