Yumbulagang, Yumbulakar or Yumbu Lakhang or Yungbulakang (Palace) is an ancient palace in the Yarlung Valley, Nêdong County in the vicinity of Tsetang (Zêtang) in Southern Tibet.
According to legend it was the first building in Tibet and the palace of the first Tibetan king, Nyatri Tsenpo.
Yumbulagang may not today be the same building as legends says it is, but it is nevertheless a wonderful place and the views from the Palace is absolutely amazing.
The Palace is on a hill on the eastern bank of the Yarlung River in the Yarlung Valley - the cradle of Tibetan civilisation.
My visit to Tibet were in January 2011, a very cold time but on the upside hardly no tourists visit Tibet in winter time. And as it is too cold to work for both farmers and nomads, they traditionally have a month of and go on pilgrimage. Thereby, all sights where filled with Tibetans, mostly from the countryside.
Dressed up for the occasion, and very curious to meet Westerners, they made it worth sleeping without heat or electricity in below zero temperatures.

Our first week in our first house in rural Tamworth, Australia.
1987's big reward from DT - a tent to play in indoors (on an old avocado green shag rug :>) Those were the days!
Not quite 2 in 1987 and nearly the same age as her now 23 month old son in 2011 :>) There are many challenges this time of year!

Plastic models - what all boys, big and little wanted for Christmas in the 1980's & before! This is still 1983 and a scan.
Sarah was always attracted to her parent's bedroom and bed. Here she was nursed, cuddled, read to, and put to sleep. She also liked exploring the shoes and items on the floor.
