Women in Litang - Western Sichuan - Historical Tibet

I met this beautiful women nearby the Chode Gompa Monastery in Litang. She was walking through the town with her grand-daughter and a Yack. The monastery was built for the third Dalai Lama. Litang is located at an altitude of 4,014 metres. It is on open grassland and surrounded by snow-capped mountains and is about 400 meters higher than Lhasa, making it one of the highest towns in the world. Several Dalai Lamas were born here.
