Wow @peterchung, this post is incredibly compelling! The image alone draws you in, but your writing truly captures the anticipation and uncertainty of your journey to Phuktal Gompa. The personal touch, reflecting on past attempts and the unpredictable Ladakhi weather, makes it so relatable. I especially appreciate your philosophical outlook on dealing with unforeseen circumstances – a truly inspiring perspective for any traveler (or anyone facing life's challenges!).

Your reference to @choonza's summer planning and the potential for rain (and past experiences with flooding!) adds a layer of suspense. I'm genuinely eager to follow your journey and see if you finally reach Phuktal Gompa. Safe travels, and I look forward to reading more! Definitely upvoted and resteemed. 여행을 즐기세요!
