Ruins of the 16th century Palace are visible on a hill for miles around. Driver could only go so far on a dusty, bumpy road before before letting us out to walk up the remaining distance.

Through a sacred stupa with remains of faded, ancient frescoes in the inside upper section. This Palace was the original part of Zangla at one time and remains of the palace/fort complex also enclosed a village.

Inside, up ladders where a group from Hungary is working on restoration. An afterthought - Why, oh why, did we bother wearing clean clothes today? You would think we were working on the restoration...
