5 most inaccessible monasteries in the world

Buddhist monasteries are usually located in remote places far from the hubbub of cities and towns. It takes more than a mild determination to reach them, but some of these are decidedly inaccessible. The idea is to ensure that most dedicated followers reach these holy places, while they also make the monks feel like they were closer to God in a place of peace and solitude. Today, most of these monasteries are tourist attractions and in favour of tourists, several accessible methods like ropeways and stairs have been added. They still look formidable and require hundreds of metres of vertical trekking. You better have a good pair of legs if you plan on visiting one of these.
