Beyond Himalya: Gyantse

Gyantse, 3900metres, 6 December

-Scenic village flanked by a monastry and a fort. The Stupa, the largest in Tibet has 5 stories, symbolising the 5 stages to enlightenment, with more than 100 halls with buddha shrines. We climbed to one of the temples for great views of the stupa, the fort and the town.
