Tibet Pictures


Mount Everest from our Airplane flying to Lhasa from Kathmandu.











The Potala palace in Lhasa, former home of H.H. Dalai Lama. currently controlled by the Chinese government as a tourist attraction, although many Tibetan pilgrims still travel here.




Chinese military on guard outside of the plaza in front of the Potala. In the background is the ridiculous looking Chinese monument commemorating the "peaceful liberation" of Tibet.














Above: One of our campsites trekking in Phempo region, 16,000ft.
