Buddhist prayer flags fluttering in the cold wind, adding a colourful element to white glacial slopes in the distance. It's a sight commonly seen and sought for by many travel bugs. The prayer 'Om Mani Padme Hum' can be broken down into four meanings. 'Om', which is the sacred syllable, 'Mani', or the jewel, 'Padme', or the lotus, and 'Hum', or the spirit of enlightenment. The flags are flown high, so that the wind carries their prayers. It is believed to be a good sign when the colours fade, as then the prayers are acknowledged by the wind.
