The ordination hall at Wat Kiew Nor, with the hill behind it.

A small monastery in the forested hills above Luang Prabang, just across the mighty Mekong river. One of the remotest monasteries in close proximity to Luang Prabang, an oasis of calm, a temple as close to nature as can be in this area.
