Lhase to Shigatse

Part1 | Part2 | Part3 | Part4 | Part5

The fort in Shigatse. Same design as the Potala

Maze inside Tashilgumpo Monastary. We wander for a couple of hours

Large wooden prayer wheel

Smart and fat sheep hang out around the kora and eat rice offerings left by pilgrims

Just hanging out waiting for pictures. Not all pilgrims like to be photographed so you have to be respectful and ask permission

Tashilgumpo kora with modern Shigatse in the background. You must always walk a kora clockwise, I am just backtracking a bit here

Shigatze and fort

Yak horns with inscriptions

It means hail to the jewel in the lotus

The end.
