No Monastery, No Village

Nested in a remote corner of #Nepal, the village of Halzi thrives in virtue of the 11th-century Waltse Rinchenling Buddhist Monastery. The monastery is a cultural treasure and the heart of a 500-person community. But lying just 6.5 km below a dangerous glacier, this sanctuary faces the ever-looming threat of being wiped away by violent glacial lake floods. Residents cannot imagine abandoning the cultural treasure to its fate. The people of Halzi are running out of time.
