Aman also hosts its own alms offering in front of the property which is a much quieter and dignified experience

hill tribe village is very authentic and we seemed to be the only tourists there

black bear sanctuary...“backstage tour” where we are allowed to hide food in their enclosure as well as visit the bear clinic

downstream to Hans Berger residence for a late lunch. Since my partner is a photographer, Gary was kind enough to arrange with Hans so that he will be able to meet us there...Few years ago, a very senior abbot has entrusted him with thousands of photographs which he hid in cupboards for years of communist reign. The photos are of local monks and most were taken by themselves. Hans has archived these meticulously. Some of the photos were exhibited in a special room in Amantaka
wow.
