Entering the narrow valley on the western flank of Kailas, the place assigned to Amitabha, whose colour is red, he (the pilgrim) finds himself in a canyon of red rocks, the structure of which is so architectural in appearance that the pilgrim feels as if he is walking between rows of gigantic temples. They are adorned with elaborate rock-cornices, pillars, and ledges, and high above them there appears suddenly the dazzling ice-dome of Kailas. – Lama Anagarika Govinda: The Way of the White Clouds. You can just barely see Chuku Gompa on the hill to the left of the V in the valley.
