Tibet Photos

Three months I spend in Tibet, This page shows a selection of the photos I made when traveling in Tibet. Tibet is a very colorful country. Though occupied by the Chinese in 1959, the Tibetans despite the oppression have been able to keep their Buddhist religion and culture. In December and January many people come to Lhasa for prayers. Many of the photos shown here were made in Lhasa in December.

The center of Lhasa is always a very colorful place, but in these months it's even better. December is also the month when the weather is clear. Therefore it's a good time to travel in Tibet if you are interested in good views. The nights however will be below zero degrees Celsius. In the summer the views over the Himalayas is maybe less but there's still enough to enjoy. Be patient as this page may slow and have fun,
