Enter via the back entrance (might need a guide) and see the Monastery first, then walk down, while everyone else has to go up and down, you'll just have to go down, saves loads of time and effort.
Amazing place! Must see. But you will walk a LOT! Treasury is quite easy to reach, but if you want to make it all the way to the monastery you’ll have to earn it :)
Absolutely incredible! Bring lots of water, sunblock, and a good hat for the walk. Can take up to an hour to get to the treasury but it’s worth the hike!
Stunning! Besides the Treasury encourage visiting the Monastery and taking a camel ride to the point where you'll have to climb quite a bit of steps if your low on time.
I would recommend for you to spend the night here. You Will need 6 to 8 h for a nice tour. Get a guide with you, However the quality Of the ones offered at the visitor centre may not be the greatest.
