An informative film, made in early March 2010; there is still snow on the ground.
To see these temples at their best, visit between April and September when the mountains are green and the ancient trees give welcome shade from the heat. Fruit tree blossoms are abundant here in spring. One can take a local 'taxi' from one to the other along lovely winding roads through the hills.
