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.

Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar are the only two places in the whole of Tibet that were visited by Lord Buddha, accompanied by five hundred Arhats. During the turning of the Three Wheels of the Dharma, Buddha Shakyamuni extensively explained the merits of building images. So Indra (the king of gods) offered precious articles of the gods, Ananda (the king of Serpents or Nagas) offered precious articles of the Nagas and Bimbisara (the king of Magadh) offered gold and silver, etc. to the Buddha and requested him to have three images of the Buddha made, as a means of generating merit for the sentient beings in the future. The total distance, covered in a complete circumambulation of Mount Kailash according to the route charted by Gotsangpa, is 52km and takes about 13 to 15 hours. Tibetan pilgrims generally start early in the morning and complete one circumambulation by nightfall. Most Tibetan pilgrims do three to thirteen circumambulations of Mount Kailash. There are some who do 108 circumambulations of Mount Kailash. tibet-incense.com/blog/circling-kailash-and-manasarovar/

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
