Yokhang-Tempel, is a Buddhist temple in Barkhor Square in Lhasa, the capital city of Tibet. Tibetans, in general, consider this temple as the most sacred and important temple in Tibet.

This is the Zhangmu border crossing with the bridge spanning the Sun Kosi river. The right side is Tibet & the left side is Nepal.To the right is the start of the "Friendship Highway " leading to Lhasa, capital of Tibet. The left road leads to Kathmandu & was the direction we were travelling. To get here we had to drive along a long section of road, in a narrow gorge, that was still being built . We had to wait a few hours for our allotted time to travel,(as the road was only wide enough for one direction of travel at a time) but even so we were held up again for several hours while the Chinese " coolies" were blasting away much rock using dynamite. It was quite exciting as we drove past the huge rock piles in the road , still being cleared & with a vertiginous drop down to the river, a long way below. It was quite some relief when we eventually reached the border town of Zhangmu, driving in total darkness, but still in one piece !!!
Due to the Nepal earthquake in April 2015 this route was closed for over two years .Now clear, it is an adventure journey ,which I can recommend.
In the background the Mt. Everest.
Rongbuk Monastery lies near the base of the north side of Mount Everest at 5,009 metres (16,434 ft) above sea level, at the end of the Dzakar Chu valley. Rongbuk is claimed to be the highest-elevation monastery in the world.
However, the true highest monastery in the world is Drirapuk Monastery in Ngari Prefecture, at an altitude of 5,072 metres (16,640 ft).
Looking for an alternative to Tibet? Look no further than the Nevada County Foothills. We got all the snow you could ever want. Of course, Tibet is a tad sexier when it comes to travel destinations. Check it out.

Gyantsé རྒྱལ་རྩེ། county
The fertile valley of the Nyang chu River, which is the principal tributary of the Yarlung Tsangpo ཡར་ཀླུངས་གཙང་པོ་ or Brahmaputra in Tsang, The valley is divided into upper and lower reaches; Upper Nyang, corresponding to present-day Gyantse county, and Lower Nyang to Panam county.

The county capital is at Gyantse, a strategic intersection of great historic importance. Area: 3.595 sq km. www.footprinttravelguides.com/c/2848/tibet/&Action=pr...

Colorful debates on Buddhist doctrines are held here and these employ a style distinctive from those at Lhasa's other famous monasteries. Lhasa, Tibet
This is the debate courtyard of the byes college. Up to several years ago, the two philosophical colleges of se ra -- byes and smad -- used their own textbooks (yig cha), and debated separately. Fearing that there were not sufficient numbers of monks to sustain separate debate periods, the two colleges decided to consolidate their curricula sometime in the last decade. They adopted the textbooks of the byes college monastery, and since that time the monks of both colleges debate together for a two-hour period every afternoon when the doctrinal session, or "quatrimester" (chos thog) is convened. Like all of se ra's major debate courtyards, the byes debate ground is surrounded by an outer perimeter wall, and contains many trees that provide shade in the summer.
Sershul Tekchen Dargyeling སེར་ཤུལ་ ཏེཀ་ ཆེན་ དར་ གྱེ་ གླིང་
Founding (1759) > Monks 1255 •Religious Sect > Geluk སེར་ཤུལ་དགོན། > ser shul dgon > Sershül Gön Sershul Tekchen Dargyeling སེར་ཤུལ་ ཏེཀ་ ཆེན་ དར་ གྱེ་ གླིང་ is an important monastery of the Gelukpa School, located 20 km west of Deongma, on the right side of the road. This is currently the largest monastery in Sershul county, with 1200-1300 monks divided into six colleges, under the guidance of the youthful but charismatic Drukpa Rinpoche. The rain retreat festival held in August is a magnificent spectacle, attracting nomad communities. The hills and grasslands around the monastery are sparse and spacious.
The complex was founded as a branch of Chunkor but soon outgrew the latter. The recently restored buildings at Sershul, which are all near the motor road, include the Tsokchen (assembly hall), the Jamkhang (Maitreya temple), the Gonkhang (protector temple), the Dewachen Lhakhang (Amitabha temple), the Mentsikhang (where Mipham Rinpoche`s tradition is maintained), the college, a Mani Wheel chapel (containing three wheels constructed by the father of the present Drukpa Rinpoche) and a small guesthouse. A new Tsongkhapa Lhakhang, resembling a giant cathedral, has been constructed below the main complex, and was due for completion and consecration on 12 December, 2008. www.footprinttravelguides.com/c/2848/tibet/&Action=pr...
Two monks sitting in the Great Meeting Hall, Depung Monastery. Lhasa, Tibet
When I was doing research on Tibet I found a picture of the monk on the left, I do not remember the site where it was.
Instead of going straight down the road the monks and myself went clockwise around the stupa. Depung Monastery. Lhasa, Tibet
After visiting the sacred lake we continued on towards Gyangtse stopping to eat at this little restaurant. It was one of the smallest places I have ever eaten at on any tour. It would probably not be up to many people's standards but if you are hungry you do not have any other place to go. I ate very little here but it was good. Highway to Gyangtse, Tibet
