OVERLAND JOURNEY ACROSS
TIBET
April 3-11, 1998
This photo of Everest was taken from the
north tibetan side of the Himalayas. This view was seen on our second
day of our long and adventurous trip across Tibet to Lhasa.
This is the site of the Dalai Lama's Winter Palace
located in Lhasa. The Dalai Lama fled from Lhasa in 1959 during the
cultural revolution. He also had a summer palace located in another
section of Lhasa.
A tibetan man at market. Tibetan's
tend to be ornamental in their dress. Notice the jewelery in his
ear and the red cloth woven through his hair depicting a particular tibetan
ethnic group.
