Tala Monastery From Above
Moving On
Anyway, that's enough of the new. Let's take a look at the old. To get to the monastery, you follow the lower road into the valley. You go past a very famous cat sanctuary along the way. We shall feature that in its own article at a later date, but if you are in the area, do take a look. They will appreciate any contributions you can give them.
Towards Kamares
Kamares is a village above Tala and to the west of the monastery.
Kamares Close Up
It is a nice place to drive through but I think they could do with a few more road signs!
Distant Monastery
And there is the monastery, tucked away in the rear of the valley.
The Monastery
When you are at the monastery it feels like you are in dense woodland. But from up here you can get a great view.
