I went on a backpacking trip with 13 other friends, some who are living with Tibet. We went up to Mar Qu for the Horse Festival and it was a fun experience of camping out on the horse festival grounds. Though it was summer, we still got hailstones and chilly winds that cut through your bones - it is 3600 miles above sea level after all. We all had a great time with Yak burgers, Zhanba and Yak Butter milk.

These photos capture the significant events in our 2 weeks there as a team, and the great moments or little lessons that we experienced and learned. Most of them represent very strong and dear memories to us, of course different events for different ones of us were more impactful.

Tibet is a natural wonder in its totally unspoilt and vast expanse of majestic mountains and neverending plains. Many times during the journey, it felt as if we were travelling in the land before time, and it was not difficult to imagine how this part of the world was like from the start of creation, and if indeed, it had changed much at all.

These are visual profiles of the people we met in Tibet. They bear distinct features, and children in particular stand out because of their innocence written over weather beaten faces bestowed on them by the harsh weather there.
