Day 1
And here rests the holy man, Sangha Tenzin, who is said to have sacrificed his life to save the village of Gue from a scorpion plague.

Housing the only naturally preserved mummy of India, Gue is also known as the 'Village of the Lama Mummy'.

The mummy is well preserved and has even shown a growth in hair and nails over the years. It rests in a glass chamber close to the Gue Monastery.

The locals have now shut the mummy from public viewing due to fear of theft, but if you're lucky, you can enter the chamber and take a close look at Sangha Tenzin, who has been resting peacefully in a squatting position for 600 years..
