Po Klong Garai Temple

 

.

.

NHA TRANG      It was a long bus ride from Dalat to Nha Trang.. Fortunately, we stopped to see the Cham Hindu temple, Po Klong Garai.. It was enough to steal anyone's breath away.

I borrowed a bike and with that mobility, I was off exploring.. I wanted to see the sitting Buddha but had no map.. I also
wanted to find my way to the Po Hagar Cham Towers. Somehow, I did manage to find the temple -- I don't know how.. The biggest surprise was while crossing the bridge to the temple, I saw the Thung Chai basket boats.. They were two meter wide boats made of bamboo and covered with pitch.
