Pictures of Tibet

Back to Asia

In June 2001, I traveled from Nepal to Tibet on the Friendship Highway, a rough dirt track that begins in Kathmandu, traverses the steep terraced valleys of Nepal, climbs over the highest mountain range in the world, the Himalayas, weaves through the desolate high-altitude desert of the Tibetan plateau, and ends in Lhasa, the mythical capital of Tibet.  You can see all my photos and pictures of Tibet in this online gallery.
